摘要： Technologies for load balancing on a network device in an edge network are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a network device receives, in the edge network, a request to access a function. The request includes one or more performance requirements. The network device identifies, as a function of an evaluation of the performance requirements and on monitored properties of each device associated with the network device, one or more of the devices to service the request. The network device selects one of the identified devices according to a load balancing policy and sends the request to the selected device.

摘要： An architecture to enable verification, ranking, and identification of respective edge service properties and associated service level agreement (SLA) properties, such as in an edge cloud or other edge computing environment, is disclosed. In an example, management and use of service information for an edge service includes: providing SLA information for an edge service to an operational device, for accessing an edge service hosted in an edge computing environment, with the SLA information providing reputation information for computing functions of the edge service according to an identified SLA; receiving a service request for use of the computing functions of the edge service, under the identified SLA; requesting, from the edge service, performance of the computing functions of the edge service according to the service request; and tracking the performance of the computing functions of the edge service according to the service request and compliance with the identified SLA.

摘要： Methods, apparatus, systems and machine-readable storage media of an edge computing device which is enabled to access and select the use of local or remote acceleration resources for edge computing processing is disclosed. In an example, an edge computing device obtains first telemetry information that indicates availability of local acceleration circuitry to execute a function, and obtains second telemetry that indicates availability of a remote acceleration function to execute the function. An estimated time (and cost or other identifiable or estimateable considerations) to execute the function at the respective location is identified. The use of the local acceleration circuitry or the remote acceleration resource is selected based on the estimated time and other appropriate factors in relation to a service level agreement.

摘要： Systems and techniques to upgrade network objects using security islands are described herein. Security islands of node groupings are created based on trust relationships between nodes in an edge network. An upgrade request may be received to upgrade a target edge node in the edge network. Building blocks may be identified for a package installed on the target edge node to be upgraded. A state backup may be stored for the building blocks. An upgrade command and an upgrade payload may be transmitted to the target edge node. The target edge node may be queried to obtain a status of the target edge node. An upgrade action may be determined based on the status and the upgrade action may be executed.

摘要： Disclosed are systems and methods for adaptive resilient network communication. A system may monitor network traffic on multiple pathways between user equipment and an application or a service at a network destination, gather network telemetry data from the monitored network traffic, input the network telemetry data into a trained artificial intelligence model, and classify the network telemetry data using the model. The system may further determine, using the model, an anomaly condition in at least a portion of the multiple pathways, and in response to the determination of an anomaly, select a mitigation technique for the at least a portion of the multiple pathways.

摘要： A resource management framework may be used to improve performance of dominant and non-dominant resources for edge multi-tenant applications. The resource management framework may include an admission control mechanism, which may be used to balance disproportionate resource allocations by controlling allocation of unconstrained resources proportional to the requested dominant resources based on resource availability. The admission control mechanism may provide ongoing monitoring of dominant and non-dominant resource utilization, such as using a hybrid centralized-distributed telemetry collection approach. The resource management framework may also include a lightweight resource monitoring and policy enforcement mechanism on distributed networking elements to reduce or eliminate the exploitations of non-dominant resources.

摘要： Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases for trust-based orchestration of an edge node. An edge node may be configured for trust-based orchestration in an edge computing environment, where the edge node includes a transceiver to receive an instruction to perform a workload, the instruction from an edge orchestrator, the edge node being in a group of edge nodes managed with a ledger; and a processor to execute the workload at the edge node to produce a result, wherein the execution of the workload is evaluated by other edge nodes in the group of edge nodes to produce a reputation score of the edge node, where the transceiver is to provide the result to the edge orchestrator.

摘要： Methods, systems, and use cases for orchestrator execution planning using a distributed ledger are discussed, including an orchestration system with memory and at least one processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to perform operations to generate an execution plan for a workload based on an SLA. The execution plan includes state transitions associated with corresponding edge service instances. A distributed ledger record is retrieved from the ledger based on a reinforcement learning reward value specified by the record. The reward value is associated with a state transition of the plurality of state transitions. An edge node is selected based on the retrieved distributed ledger record. Execution of an edge service instance of the plurality of edge service instances by the edge node is scheduled. The execution of the edge service instance corresponds to the state transition associated with the reinforcement learning reward value.

摘要： Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases for testing, integration, and deployment of failure conditions in an edge computing environment is provided through use of perturbations. In an example, operations to implement controlled perturbations in an edge computing platform include: identifying at least one perturbation parameter available to be implemented with a hardware components of an edge computing system that provides a service using the hardware components; determining values, which disrupt operation of the service, to implement the perturbation parameter among the hardware components; deploying the perturbation parameters to the hardware components, during operation of the service to process a computing workload, to cause perturbation effects on the service; collecting telemetry values associated with the hardware components, produced during operation of the service that indicate the perturbation effects upon the operation of the service; and cause a computing operation to occur based on the collected telemetry values.
