Abstract
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.
