Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present disclosure provides techniques for distributing functions among data centers of a cloud system providing FaaS. For example, the present disclosure provides one or more function dispatchers configured to receive a request to load or execute a function, automatically determine an appropriate data center to load or execute a function, and automatically load or execute a function on the determined data center Execute the function. In some embodiments, the function allocator is further configured to determine an appropriate data center to provide storage resources for the function, and configure the function to utilize the determined data center's storage resources.

[0025]The present disclosure offers many advantages over the prior art. In particular, the function allocator allows dynamic selection of data centers to load and execute functions and / or provide storage resources to functions. Therefore, the selection of the data center need not be hard-coded int...

Abstract

The disclosure provides an approach for distribution of functions among data centers of a cloud system that provides function-as-a-service (FaaS). For example, the disclosure provides one or more function distributors configured to receive a request for loading or executing a function, automatically determine an appropriate data center to load or execute the function, and automatically load or execute the function on the determined data center. In certain embodiments, the function distributors are further configured to determine an appropriate data center to provide storage resources for the function and configure the function to utilize the storage resources of the determined data center.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] Pursuant to 35U.S.C.119(a)-(d), the benefit of foreign application serial number 201841030859, filed in India on August 17, 2018, by VMware Corporation, entitled "Functions as a Service (FAAS) Execution Allocator" is claimed, which The entire contents are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. [0003] This application claims priority to and the benefit of co-pending U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 16 / 214,163, entitled "Functions-as-a-Service (FAAS) Execution Distributor," filed December 10, 2018, which is adopted in its entirety by This reference is hereby incorporated. Background technique [0004] Cloud architecture is used in cloud computing and cloud storage systems (called cloud systems) for providing function-as-a-service (FaaS) cloud services. Such a cloud system may refer to any type of cloud system, such as a private cloud system, a public cloud system or a hybrid cloud system. FaaS cloud service is a typ...
