DoS in context
- [Presenter] Denial of service attacks impact the availability of some resource. There's a set of resources that are typically impacted. Traditionally, those were network bandwidth, CPU and storage. Today, batteries and cloud budgets are also frequently used up. We'll look into each, but don't be fooled into thinking that these are all the ways that availability fails. Electric grids fail because of storms, squirrels and backhoes. Machine learning systems sit idle because getting data from RAM to the CPU is a bottleneck. Computers are subject to destruction, ranging from coffee accidentally spilled on your laptop to outdoor cameras being spray painted. These failures are less subject to software controls, but that makes them no less real when you're considering the availability of your systems.
