Abstract: Technologies for accelerated key caching in an edge hierarchy include multiple edge appliance devices organized in tiers. An edge appliance device receives a request for a key, such as a private key. The edge appliance device determines whether the key is included in a local key cache and, if not, requests the key from an edge appliance device included in an inner tier of the edge hierarchy. The edge appliance device may request the key from an edge appliance device included in a peer tier of the edge hierarchy. The edge appliance device may activate per-tenant accelerated logic to identify one or more keys in the key cache for eviction. The edge appliance device may activate per-tenant accelerated logic to identify one or more keys for pre-fetching. Those functions of the edge appliance device may be performed by an accelerator such as an FPGA. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for dynamically selecting resources for virtual switching include a network appliance configured to identify a present demand on processing resources of the network appliance that are configured to process data associated with network packets received by the network appliance. Additionally, the network appliance is configured to determine a present capacity of one or more acceleration resources of the network appliance and determine a virtual switch operation mode based on the present demand and the present capacity of the acceleration resources, wherein the virtual switch operation mode indicates which of the acceleration resources are to be enabled. The network appliance is additionally configured to configure a virtual switch of the network appliance to operate as a function of the determined virtual switch operation mode and assign acceleration resources of the network appliance as a function of the determined virtual switch operation mode. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: There is disclosed in an example, a computer-implemented method of providing network function virtualization orchestration (NFVO), including: determining that a first virtual network function (VNF) instance, providing a virtual service appliance on a virtual network, is to be migrated; provisioning a second VNF instance of the virtual service appliance; cloning configuration data from the first VNF to the second VNF; starting the second VNF without copying traffic data; and halting the first VNF. There is also disclosed an apparatus for performing the method, and a computer-readable medium having instructions for performing the method.

Abstract: Technologies for coordinating access to packets include a network device. The network device is to establish a ring in a memory of the network device. The ring includes a plurality of slots. The network device is also to allocate cores to each of an input stage, an output stage, and a worker stage. The worker stage is to process data in a data packet with an associated worker function. The network device is also to add, with the input stage, an entry to a slot in the ring representative of a data packet received with a network interface controller of the network device, access, with the worker stage, the entry in the ring to process at least a portion of the data packet, and provide, with the output stage, the processed data packet to the network interface controller for transmission.
