Kubernetes (K8s) serves as a mature orchestration system for the seamless deployment and management of containerized applications spanning across cloud and edge environments. Since high-performance connectivity and minimal resource…
The move towards the microservice based architecture is well underway. In this architectural style, small and loosely coupled modules are developed, deployed, and scaled independently to compose cloud-native applications. However, for…
FaaS (Function as a Service) allows developers to upload and execute code in the cloud without managing servers. FaaS offerings from leading public cloud providers are based on system microVM or application container technologies such as…
In an overloaded FaaS cluster, individual worker nodes strain under lengthening queues of requests. Although the cluster might be eventually horizontally-scaled, adding a new node takes dozens of seconds. As serving applications are tuned…
Containers are standalone, self-contained units that package software and its dependencies together. They offer lightweight performance isolation, fast and flexible deployment, and fine-grained resource sharing. They have gained popularity…
Interpreted execution of queries, as in the vectorized model, suffers from interpretation overheads. By compiling queries this interpretation overhead is eliminated at the cost of a compilation phase that delays execution, sacrificing…
Modern cluster management systems like Kubernetes and Openstack grapple with hard combinatorial optimization problems: load balancing, placement, scheduling, and configuration. Currently, developers tackle these problems by designing custom…
This paper proposes an architectural framework for the efficient orchestration of containers in cloud environments. It centres around resource scheduling and rescheduling policies as well as autoscaling algorithms that enable the creation…
Software based fault isolation (SFI) is a powerful approach to reduce the impact of security vulnerabilities in large C/C++ applications like Firefox and Apache. Unfortunately, practical SFI tools have not been broadly available. Developing…
Cloud computing has radically changed the way organisations operate their software by allowing them to achieve high availability of services at affordable cost. Containerized microservices is an enabling technology for this change, and…
We present the architecture of a cloud native version of IBM Streams, with Kubernetes as our target platform. Streams is a general purpose streaming system with its own platform for managing applications and the compute clusters that…
Serverless computing has revolutionized cloud architectures by enabling developers to deploy event-driven applications via lightweight, self-contained virtualized containers. However, serverless frameworks face critical cold-start…
Edge computing is emerging as a key enabler of low-latency, high-efficiency processing for the Internet of Things (IoT) and other real-time applications. To support these demands, containerization has gained traction in edge computing due…
The growth in the adoption of the WebAssembly (WASM) standard has given rise to a rapidly increasing landscape of binary applications that are natively ported to the environment of websites. The flexibility of WASM has made it the preferred…
The architectural style of microservices has been gaining popularity in recent years. In this architectural style, small and loosely coupled modules are deployed and scaled independently to compose cloud-native applications. Carrier-grade…
Edge machine learning can deliver low-latency and private artificial intelligent (AI) services for mobile devices by leveraging computation and storage resources at the network edge. This paper presents an energy-efficient edge processing…
We present a framework for performance optimization in serverless edge-cloud platforms using dynamic task placement. We focus on applications for smart edge devices, for example, smart cameras or speakers, that need to perform processing…
A distributed application executing on a Network of Workstations (NOW) needs to be resource state aware to possibly adapt itself accordingly in order to keep satisfying the desired Quality of Service (QoS) demands throughout its lifespan.…
Kubernetes has become the foundation of modern cloud-native infrastructure, yet its management remains complex and fragmented. Administrators must navigate a vast API surface, manage heterogeneous workloads, and coordinate tasks across…
AWS Lambda is a serverless event-driven compute service, part of a category of cloud compute offerings sometimes called Function-as-a-service (FaaS). When we first released AWS Lambda, functions were limited to 250MB of code and…
