Abstract: Technologies for deploying virtual machines (VMs) in a virtual network function (VNF) infrastructure include a compute device configured to collect a plurality of performance metrics based on a set of key performance indicators, determine a key performance indicator value for each of the set of key performance indicators based on the collected plurality of performance metrics, and determine a service quality index for a virtual machine (VM) instance of a plurality of VM instances managed by the compute as a function each key performance indicator value. Additionally, the compute device is configured to determine whether the determined service quality index is acceptable and perform, in response to a determination that the determined service quality index is not acceptable, an optimization action to ensure the VM instance is deployed on an acceptable host of the compute device. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface receiving a firmware update from one or more packets. In some examples, the one or more packets indicate a start of a firmware update. In some examples, the network interface can also perform authenticating the start of firmware update indication and based on authentication of the firmware update, permit a firmware update of a device. In some examples, the device is one or more of: Board Management Controller (BMC), central processing unit (CPU), network interface, Ethernet controller, storage controller, memory controller, display engine, graphics processing unit (GPU), accelerator device, or peripheral device. In some examples, an end of firmware update indicator is received in the one or more packets. In some examples, communications are maintained through a port during a firmware change.
