Recommendation and Prediction in a Microservice Web Application for Cyber Ranges

The EU research project between industry and academia mu DevOps is a collaborative research project formed by an international network of organizations including industry and academia that aims to tackle current challenges of microservice development operations. An important case study considered in this project is the Cyber Ranges application a cyber security training and capability development exercises using microservices for the design, delivery, and management of simulation-based, experiences in cyber security developed by Silensec as one of the partners. This work describes the results of analyzing the scenario usage dataset of the Cyber Ranges training platform. This includes the matrix of starts for scenario/user and the attributes of scenarios. The aims are to produce recommendations of scenarios for users based on previous activity and to predict the success of scenarios as measured by the number of starts.
