Techniques for reducing fragmentation in software-defined infrastructures are described. A compute node, including one or more processor circuits, may be configured to access one or more remote resources via a fabric, the compute node may be configured to receive a dynamic tolerated fragmentation for the one or more remote resources. The compute node may be configured to monitor the performance of the one or more remote resources. For example, the compute node may be configured to monitor if one or more of the monitored resources were to exceed a threshold bandwidth or latency range as defined by the dynamic tolerated fragmentation. The compute node may be configured to determine that the monitored performance of the one or more remote resources is outside a threshold defined by the dynamic tolerated fragmentation. If one or more of the remote resources is outside the threshold, for a predetermined period of time, or otherwise, the compute node may be configured to determine so and take appropriate measures, such as generating a message indicating that performance of the one or more remote resources is outside a threshold defined by the dynamic tolerated fragmentation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
