Abstract: The farming industry is a mainstay of the world economy, with potato cultivation contributing immensely to food security. Despite this, potato plants are very prone to several diseases like Earl y Blight, Late Blight, and bacterial infections, causing them to experience tremendous losses in yields. Conventional methods of disease detection involve the use of manual checking, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inaccurate because of human error. To overcome such challenges, the project suggests a mac hine learning-based automatic potato disease detection system. The suggested system applies image processing and deep learning models to identify and classify diseases from leaf images with high accuracy. A dataset of healthy and diseased potato leaf images is preprocessed and utilized for training a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The model is trained to classify different diseases and healthy leaves by learning from visual attributes. After training, the model detects diseases with high accuracy in real- time, allowing timely intervention and minimizing crop loss. This framework can help farmers and agricultural professionals keep track of crop health more effectively, increasing productivity and encouraging sustainable agriculture. The project indicates the use of machine learning in precision farming and how it can revolutionize conventio nal farming practices.

Abstract: COVID-19 harmed the lives of people in every region of the world. It has been established that, in addition to the physical symptoms, it significantly influences the patient’s mental health. Depression has been identified as one of the most widespread disorders that can hasten a person’s mortality at an early age. This is one of the conditions that has been singled out for this distinction. The trajectory of life for millions of people has been altered as a result of this illness. We conducted a survey that consisted of 21 questions based on the Hamilton instrument and the advice of a psychiatrist. This was done so that we could continue forward with the inquiry into the identification of depression in individuals. After the data were compiled and analysed, it became clear that people younger than 45 years of age had a higher risk of suffering from depression when compared to those older than 45 years of age. This is because most people at this age are concerned about getting married or schooling their children. On the other side, research has revealed that those whose ages fall between 18 and 25 are also at an increased risk of suffering from depression. This is likely because, at this stage in their lives, these individuals are more conscious of the potential outcomes of their lives. Based on all of the replies received, the findings of the survey were put through several different machine learning algorithms, including Decision Tree, KNN, and Naive Bayes. These algorithms were used to analyse the results. Further investigation is being done into how these two techniques are similar to and different from one another. According to the findings of the research, KNN has produced better results than other approaches in terms of accuracy, whereas decision trees have produced better results in terms of the amount of time needed to detect depression in a person. In conclusion, to overcome the traditional approach to a depression diagnosis, which is made up of affirmative questions and constant feedback from individuals, a model that is based on machine learning is offered as a potential alternative.

Abstract: In the modern era of digital infrastructure, organizations are increasingly adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage and automate the provisioning and configuration of resources across both on-premises and cloud environments. IaC ensures consistency, repeatability, and efficiency by allowing infrastructure to be defined and maintained through version-controlled code. Among the many tools available, Puppet and Ansible have emerged as two of the most widely adopted solutions, each bringing distinct advantages to the automation landscape. Puppet is based on a declarative model and is particularly suited for policy enforcement and large-scale system state management. Ansible, by contrast, follows a procedural model and is known for its flexibility, simplicity, and agentless operation. This review examines the rationale, architecture, and best practices behind co-deploying Puppet and Ansible within hybrid environments. Rather than viewing these tools as mutually exclusive, the paper explores how they can be used in complementary roles to achieve higher degrees of automation maturity, compliance, and infrastructure resilience. The review discusses how Puppet can handle base operating system configurations and enforce long-term system states, while Ansible is better suited for orchestration tasks, application deployment, and change management.

Abstract: The demand for resilient virtual machine (VM) architectures has grown exponentially with the adoption of cloud computing across enterprise sectors. Ensuring continuity of services in the face of infrastructure failures, cyber threats, and unpredictable workloads requires a robust, automated, and secure cloud environment. This review article presents a comprehensive analysis of how Red Hat’s technology stack—including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), OpenStack, OpenShift, Ansible Automation Platform, and Red Hat Satellite—enables the design and deployment of resilient VM infrastructures in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. The paper begins by outlining the foundational elements of Red Hat’s ecosystem and its integration into virtualization and cloud orchestration platforms. It then explores architectural design principles for fault tolerance, high availability, and elastic scalability, including clustering solutions using Pacemaker/Corosync and automated lifecycle management through Ansible and CloudForms. Red Hat’s support for secure VM configurations, enabled by SELinux, SCAP compliance, and FIPS-certified modules, is discussed as a critical pillar of operational resilience. The review categorizes common resiliency patterns such as active-active clustering, multi-region redundancy, and hybrid cloud deployments that leverage Red Hat Cloud Access and Image Builder. It further evaluates storage and data protection strategies through Ceph, GlusterFS, LVM snapshots, and integration with backup solutions like Veeam and Commvault. Observability and monitoring capabilities are addressed through Red Hat Performance Co-Pilot, Prometheus/Grafana, and centralized logging via EFK stacks. Several real-world case studies are presented from finance, healthcare, and government sectors to illustrate the deployment of Red Hat-based resilient VM infrastructures in production environments. The article concludes by identifying emerging trends, including AI-driven self-healing automation, serverless VM workloads via KubeVirt and MicroShift, and zero-trust security architectures powered by service mesh and mTLS. While challenges such as cross-cloud compatibility and ecosystem complexity persist, Red Hat’s comprehensive, open-source platform offers a strategic foundation for building scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure virtual infrastructures in cloud-native ecosystems.

Abstract: The ongoing reliance on legacy UNIX systems such as Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX in mission-critical enterprise environments poses significant challenges to maintaining high availability (HA) as these platforms age. Traditional HA clustering techniques—rooted in physical infrastructure, proprietary clustering software, and tightly coupled storage systems—struggle to adapt to the elasticity, fault tolerance, and operational flexibility offered by cloud environments like Amazon Web Services (AWS). This review explores the architectural shift from legacy on-premises HA clusters to AWS-based and hybrid high availability designs for UNIX workloads. It evaluates key AWS services such as EC2, Elastic Load Balancer (ELB), CloudWatch, Auto Scaling, and Route 53 in building redundant and failover-capable environments tailored for UNIX applications. The paper highlights the challenges of migrating UNIX workloads to AWS, including hardware-bound licensing, kernel-level dependencies, shared storage constraints, and clustering heartbeat mechanisms. Strategies for bridging these limitations—through hybrid models, emulation platforms (e.g., Charon-SSP for Solaris and AIX), and containerized service proxies—are analyzed. Key components of AWS-native HA design are reviewed, including EC2 auto-recovery, cross-AZ EBS, elastic IP remapping, and application-aware health monitoring via CloudWatch and Lambda functions. Hybrid clustering configurations linking on-prem systems to AWS—emerge as transitional models, allowing legacy workloads to benefit from cloud-based failover and storage resiliency while maintaining control over core services. The review includes real-world case studies across finance, healthcare, and manufacturing that demonstrate the feasibility and impact of AWS-based HA clustering for UNIX systems. It concludes with a comparative analysis of traditional versus cloud-based HA architectures, along with future directions involving serverless orchestration and AI-driven failover decision-making. Overall, the review provides a structured roadmap for IT architects seeking to modernize legacy UNIX platforms with the resilience and scalability of AWS.

Abstract: A voice-controlled robot is developed to perform accurate and reliable movements in response to spoken commands. The system combines a machine learning-based speech recognition module with an advanced motor control algorithm to enable natural human-robot interaction. The speech module converts voice to text, accurately interpreting commands even in noisy environments and across various accents. Recognized commands are processed and translated into actions, which are executed through a motor control system using pulse-width modulation (PWM) and directional control to manage motor speed and direction. This ensures smooth, synchronized movements, adapting to load changes without delays or jerks. Challenges like background noise and command errors are minimized through noise filtering, adaptive models, and an optimized processing pipeline. The system’s performance—measured by response time, accuracy, and movement reliability—confirms fast and precise execution, showcasing the robot’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios.

Abstract: This review explores the design, implementation, and operational lessons of monitoring KVM-based virtualization on Oracle X8 architectures, as demonstrated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In an effort to modernize its research compute infrastructure while maintaining transparency and cost efficiency, NIH deployed an open-source stack consisting of Prometheus, Grafana, libvirt, node exporters, and Oracle ILOM telemetry. The article details how NIH built an end-to-end observability framework that enables real-time monitoring across both physical and virtual layers. The review begins by outlining the importance of monitoring in high-performance and mission-critical environments like NIH, followed by an overview of KVM and Oracle X8 server capabilities. It then delves into the architecture NIH adopted, including hypervisor instrumentation, VM-specific metrics collection, storage I/O profiling, and hardware-level telemetry using Redfish APIs and Oracle ILOM. Emphasis is placed on the practical challenges NIH overcame such as integrating heterogeneous tools, scaling monitoring infrastructure, enforcing security and compliance, and onboarding researchers into self-service observability portals. Security-focused sections discuss hypervisor hardening, auditability under FISMA/NIST mandates, and enforcement of VM isolation. The paper also describes how NIH’s monitoring practices evolved into a modular, GitOps-based approach, enabling repeatable and version-controlled observability deployment. NIH’s roadmap for predictive alerting, hardware-integrated dashboards, and ML-driven anomaly detection rounds out the discussion. By distilling lessons from NIH’s experience, the article offers actionable recommendations for organizations seeking robust virtualization monitoring on commodity hardware. These insights are especially relevant for public sector agencies, research labs, and academic institutions looking to optimize infrastructure transparency and control.

Abstract: The increasing operational complexity of multi-OS Unix environments comprising legacy and modern systems such as Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and BSD poses significant challenges for traditional system troubleshooting methodologies. These environments demand high availability, rapid diagnostics, and platform-agnostic observability, which are difficult to achieve using manual scripting and OS-specific tools alone. This review examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) augments system administration by enabling intelligent diagnostics, predictive monitoring, and automated remediation across heterogeneous Unix infrastructures.Beginning with an overview of Unix's architectural evolution and the interoperability challenges in multi-OS deployments, the article outlines the limitations of conventional troubleshooting practices, including shell-based diagnostics, tribal knowledge, and siloed toolsets. It then explores the application of AI techniques such as machine learning for anomaly detection, natural language processing for log interpretation, and reinforcement learning for adaptive, self-healing responses. AI enables powerful capabilities in log normalization, root cause analysis (RCA), and event correlation especially critical in reducing alert fatigue and accelerating fault isolation. Advanced use cases such as predictive failure detection, behavior modeling, and AI-enhanced capacity planning illustrate the potential of intelligent monitoring. The review further evaluates unified diagnostic platforms like Splunk and Dynatrace, cross-platform frameworks, and real-world AI deployments in multi-OS settings. Key deployment challenges such as data silos, model generalization, and explainability are addressed alongside recommendations for integration with ITSM and DevSecOps pipelines. Emerging trends including AI co-pilots for system administrators, AIOps automation, and observability-as-a-service reflect a future where AI transforms Unix operations from reactive maintenance to autonomous infrastructure resilience. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of augmented intelligence where human expertise is amplified, not replaced offering a practical roadmap for AI-driven modernization in Unix ecosystems

Abstract: In enterprise IT environments, efficient server virtualization and domain management are crucial to optimizing hardware utilization, operational agility, and high availability. Oracle Solaris, a flagship Unix operating system renowned for its scalability and security, introduces virtualization constructs such as Logical Domains (LDOMs) and Guest Domains (GDOMs) through its Oracle VM Server for SPARC architecture. These constructs enable fine-grained partitioning of system resources on SPARC hardware, allowing multiple independent OS instances to coexist on a single physical server. However, as the number of domains increases in enterprise deployments, manual provisioning and management become unsustainable. This has led to a growing need for robust automation strategies that can orchestrate domain lifecycle operations with consistency, speed, and minimal administrative overhead.This review article comprehensively examines the architectural principles, automation tools, and orchestration strategies used to manage LDOMs and GDOMs in Oracle Solaris environments. It begins with a detailed explanation of the virtualization framework in Solaris, followed by an exploration of domain architecture and the challenges posed by manual administration. Native tools such as ldm, SMF (Service Management Facility), FMA (Fault Management Architecture), and ZFS are discussed alongside automation methods using Bash and Python scripting. Further, the article evaluates how Oracle tools like Oracle Enterprise Manager and external platforms like Ansible are used to automate provisioning, monitoring, backup, and fault handling for LDOM and GDOM configurations.Real-world case studies illustrate the implementation of these strategies in telecom and financial sectors, highlighting time savings, improved uptime, and reduced human error. The article also discusses the challenges faced during automation, including compatibility issues, security risks, and integration bottlenecks. Looking ahead, it explores the future of AI-driven domain orchestration, RESTful automation interfaces, and hybrid cloud integration. This review provides a strategic and technical foundation for IT architects, system administrators, and automation engineers aiming to optimize their Solaris virtualization environments through effective LDOM and GDOM automation strategies.
