Abstract: A cache service provides applications in a containerized, multi-tenant cloud-computing system low-latency access to secrets. The cache service may operate as a cluster-level service or a sidecar service. The cache service may store copies of secrets (which are located in one or more absolute stores) in a cache storage. The cache service and the cache storage may be closer to the applications than the one or more absolute stores are to the applications. The cache service may aggregate secrets associated with multiple entities in a single cache storage. The cache service may support isolation between secrets such that secrets of a first entity are isolated from secrets of a second entity. The cache service may enforce granulated access controls such that it can apply different access controls to secrets of a first entity than to secrets of a second entity.

Abstract: Water purification occurs under the influence of cold plasma obtained in water, which has a two-phase state, in which water and the smallest bubbles filled with gases dissolved in water are simultaneously present in the turbulence zone. The plasma is ignited inside the gas bubbles when exposed to an electric high-voltage nanosecond pulse. Since the turbulence zone located behind the flow body is saturated-saturated with fine bubbles, the plasma discharge in the bubbles becomes voluminous and diffuse in consistency. The combination of the hydrodynamic effect on water by the flow body and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a volumetric plasma discharge in the turbulence zone causes a synergistic effect that increases the efficiency of water treatment.
