Abstract
A computer-implemented method for executing a serverless workload on a transient infrastructure is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a request for executing a workload and at least one policy, selecting an infrastructure component of the transient infrastructure for an execution of the workload, wherein the transient infrastructure is implemented utilizing a plurality of geographically distributed computing nodes, and executing the workload on the transient infrastructure. Furthermore, the method comprises upon receiving an interfering event during the execution of the workload causing a stop of the workload execution, freezing the execution of the workload, storing intermediate results and statuses of the workload execution in a cross-domain storage system, terminating the execution of the workload, and continuing the workload execution using the intermediate results and under a constraint defined by the at least one policy.
