Public cloud services are integral to modern software development, offering scalability and flexibility to organizations. Based on customer requests, a large product development organization considered migrating the microservice-based…
Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to…
Serverless computing, commonly offered as Function-as-a-Service, was initially designed for small, lean applications. However, there has been an increasing desire to run larger, more complex applications (what we call bulky applications) in…
We study online resource allocation in a cloud computing platform, through a posted pricing mechanism: The cloud provider publishes a unit price for each resource type, which may vary over time; upon arrival at the cloud system, a cloud…
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm, now proving a necessity for utility computing services. Each provider offers a unique service portfolio with a range of resource configurations. Resource provisioning for cloud…
This paper explores resource allocation in serverless cloud computing platforms and proposes an optimization approach for autoscaling systems. Serverless computing relieves users from resource management tasks, enabling focus on application…
Deploying applications across the computing continuum requires selecting infrastructure nodes from geographically distributed and heterogeneous environments while satisfying constraints (e.g., performance, location). This decision problem…
Serverless computing has emerged as an attractive paradigm due to the efficiency of development and the ease of deployment without managing any underlying infrastructure. Nevertheless, serverless computing approaches face numerous…
Current serverless platforms struggle to optimize resource utilization due to their dynamic and fine-grained nature. Conventional techniques like overcommitment and autoscaling fall short, often sacrificing utilization for practicability or…
Serverless computing is a popular cloud deployment paradigm where developers implement applications as workflows of functions that invoke each other. Cloud providers automatically scale function instances on demand and forward workflow…
The environmental impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) continues to grow, driven notably by increasing usage, rebound effects, and emerging demands. However, despite the virtual nature of its services, the sector…
Serverless computing is an emerging service model in distributed computing systems. The term captures cloud-based event-driven distributed application design and stems from its completely resource-transparent deployment model, i.e.…
In cloud computing, users scale their resources (computational) based on their need. There is massive literature dealing with such resource scaling algorithms. These works ignore a fundamental constrain imposed by all Cloud Service…
Serverless computing along with Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is forming a new computing paradigm that is anticipated to found the next generation of cloud systems. The popularity of this paradigm is due to offering a highly transparent…
Motivated by developer productivity, serverless computing, and microservices have become the de facto development model in the cloud. Microservices decompose monolithic applications into separate functional units deployed individually. This…
The serverless cloud computing model offers a framework where the service provider abstracts the underlying infrastructure management from developers. In this serverless model, FaaS provides an event-driven, function-oriented computing…
Cloud-computing shares a common pool of resources across customers at a scale that is orders of magnitude larger than traditional multi-user systems. Constituent physical compute servers are allocated multiple "virtual machines" (VM) to…
Serverless computing has emerged as a very popular cloud technology, together with its companion Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model enabling invocations of stateless functions from clients. An evolution of serverless is now…
Datacenters are witnessing a rapid surge in the adoption of serverless functions for microservices-based applications. A vast majority of these microservices typically span less than a second, have strict SLO requirements, and are chained…
Serverless computing promises convenient abstractions for developing and deploying functions that execute in response to events. In such Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, scheduling is an integral task, but current scheduling…
