    摘要: Methods and apparatus for jitter-less distributed Function as a Service (FaaS) using flavor clustering. A set of FaaS functions clustered by flavor chaining is implemented to deploy one or more FaaS flavor clusters on one or more edge nodes, wherein each flavor is defined by a set of resource requirements mapped into a jitter Quality of Service (QoS) and is executed on at least one hardware computing component on the one or more edge nodes. One or more jitter controllers are implemented to control and monitor execution of FaaS functions in the one or more FaaS flavor clusters such that the functions are executed to meet jitter-less QoS requirements. Jitter controllers include platform jitter-less function controllers in edge nodes and a data center FaaS jitter-less controller. A jitter-less Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) network controller is also provided to provide network resources used by FaaS flavor clusters and satisfy connectivity requirements between the edge nodes.

    摘要: Various approaches for deploying and using virtual pools of compute resources with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units are disclosed. A host computing system may be configured to operate a virtual pool of resources, with operations including: identifying, at the host computing system, availability of a resource at the host computing system; transmitting, to a network infrastructure device, a notification that the resource at the host computing system is available for use in a virtual resource pool in the edge computing network; receiving a request for the resource in the virtual resource pool that is provided on behalf of a client computing system, based on the request being coordinated via the network infrastructure device and includes at least one quality of service (QoS) requirement; and servicing the request for the resource, based on the at least one QoS requirement.

    摘要: Various methods, systems, and use cases for a stable and automated transformation of a networked computing system are provided, to enable a transformation to the configuration of the computing system (e.g., software or firmware upgrade, hardware change, etc.). In an example, automated operations include: identifying a transformation to apply to a configuration of the computing system, for a transformation that affects a network service provided by the computing system; identifying operational conditions used to evaluate results of the transformation; attempting to apply the transformation, using a series of stages that have rollback positions when the identified operational conditions are not satisfied; and determining a successful or unsuccessful result of the attempt to apply the transformation. For an unsuccessful result, remediation may be performed to the configuration, with use of one or more rollback positions; for a successful result, a new restore state is established from the completion state.

    摘要: Various approaches for configuring interleaving in a memory pool used in an edge computing arrangement, including with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units, are disclosed. An example system may discover and map disaggregated memory resources at respective compute locations connected to each another via at least one interconnect. The system may identify workload requirements for use of the compute locations by respective workloads, for workloads provided by client devices to the compute locations. The system may determine an interleaving arrangement for a memory pool that fulfills the workload requirements, to use the interleaving arrangement to distribute data for the respective workloads among the disaggregated memory resources. The system may configure the memory pool for use by the client devices of the network, as the memory pool causes the disaggregated memory resources to host data based on the interleaving arrangement.
