Various approaches for allocating resources to an application having multiple application components, with at least one executing one or more functions, in a serverless service architecture include identifying multiple routing paths, each routing path being associated with a same function service provided by one or more containers or serverless execution entities; determining traffic information on each routing path and/or a cost, a response time and/or a capacity associated with the container or serverless execution entity on each routing path; selecting one of the routing paths and its associated container or serverless execution entity; and causing a computational user of the application to access the container or serverless execution entity on the selected routing path and executing the function(s) thereon.

Systems and methods for managing resources in a serverless workload

Various approaches for allocating resources to an application having multiple application components, with at least one executing one or more functions, in a serverless service architecture include identifying one or more pods having multiple containers organized as a cluster in a container system capable of executing the function(s); identifying one or more routing paths in the serverless service architecture, the routing path being associated with one or more serverless execution entities capable of executing the function(s) thereon; determining (i) traffic information on the routing path(s), (ii) a cost or a performance characteristic associated with a computer resource bundle for the pod(s), and/or (iii) a cost or a performance characteristic associated with the serverless execution entity(entities); and based thereon, determining whether to (i) terminate execution of the function(s) on the pod(s) and (ii) cause execution of the function(s) on the serverless execution entity (entities).

Systems, methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for management of resources and services (e.g., storage, registers, memory, ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) tables) to route packet sequences in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment. In one embodiment, this management occurs through the use of supply chain economics to manage utilization of TCAM resources.
