Towards Container Layer Aware Scheduling Policies

Explore a 29-minute conference talk from DevConf.CZ 2023 that delves into container layer aware scheduling policies for serverless computing. Learn about the challenges of Function as a Service (FaaS) deployments, including cold start delays and container overheads. Discover how Kubernetes-based platforms address these issues and examine two proposed scheduling policies: a ContainerLayer-Aware policy for optimizing function placements, and a Multi-Objective policy for heterogeneous platforms that aims to reduce makespan and data transfer. Gain insights into improving serverless infrastructure management and enhancing the efficiency of container-based deployments.
