“…Such deadlines are also referred to as Service Level Objectives (SLOs). The tasks are realized in the form of virtualized Docker container applications to allow ease of management and secure computing 36 . The container applications and SLOs are relayed to the edge-cloud broker, which takes all resource management decisions.…”

Industries and services are undergoing an Internet of Things centric transformation globally, giving rise to an explosion of multi-modal data generated each second. This, with the requirement of low-latency result delivery, has led to the ubiquitous adoption of edge and cloud computing paradigms. Edge computing follows the data gravity principle, wherein the computational devices move closer to the end-users to minimize data transfer and communication times. However, large-scale computation has exacerbated the problem of efficient resource management in hybrid edge-cloud platforms. In this regard, data-driven models such as deep neural networks (DNNs) have gained popularity to give rise to the notion of edge intelligence. However, DNNs face significant problems of data saturation when fed volatile data. Data saturation is when providing more data does not translate to improvements in performance. To address this issue, prior work has leveraged coupled simulators that, akin to digital twins, generate out-of-distribution training data alleviating the data-saturation problem. However, simulators face the reality-gap problem, which is the inaccuracy in the emulation of real computational infrastructure due to the abstractions in such simulators. To combat this, we develop a framework, SimTune, that tackles this challenge by leveraging a low-fidelity surrogate model of the high-fidelity simulator to update the parameters of the latter, so to increase the simulation accuracy. This further helps co-simulated methods to generalize to edge-cloud configurations for which human encoded parameters are not known apriori. Experiments comparing SimTune against state-of-the-art data-driven resource management solutions on a real edge-cloud platform demonstrate that simulator tuning can improve quality of service metrics such as energy consumption and response time by up to 14.7% and 7.6% respectively.

“…La virtualización fue esencial para implementar técnicas como ARIMA-PID para el escalado automático de contenedores; estas técnicas aprovechan la capacidad de virtualización para crear entornos flexibles y aislados, permitiendo respuestas rápidas a cambios en la carga de trabajo (Joshi et al, 2023); se realizó un análisis comparativo de métodos de virtualización en el procesamiento de grandes volúmenes de datos; la investigación no solo proporcionó una comprensión profunda de los diferentes enfoques de virtualización, sino que también arrojó luz sobre la evolución y las limitaciones de la virtualización en el contexto del procesamiento de datos a gran escala (Radchenko et al, 2019); asimismo, se proporciona una visión integral de cómo la virtualización influye en la seguridad de la nube, lo que resulta fundamental para comprender la importancia y la complejidad de proteger los entornos virtuales en el ámbito de la computación en la nube (Di Pietro & Lombardi, 2018).…”

La creciente relevancia de la contenerización y la computación en la nube destaca la necesidad de investigar áreas emergentes para abordar desafíos cruciales en la gestión de recursos informáticos. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar tendencias investigativas en el uso de Cloud Computing en contenerización entre 2015 y 2023. La metodología planteó un enfoque exploratorio, a partir de un estudio bibliométrico, usando las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science, por medio de las cuales se obtuvieron 136 documentos académicos, analizados a través de una serie de indicadores bibliométricos de estructura. El estudio reveló resultados significativos para la agenda investigativa, abordando áreas cruciales de contenerización y computación en la nube, como Docker, Kubernetes, Edge Computing y Máquinas Virtuales. Además, destacó líderes en investigación y países influyentes en la producción científica, donde Estados Unidos y Francia se destacan en estos campos. Se observa el surgimiento de temas emergentes, como Evaluación del Rendimiento y Orquestación de Contenedores, señalando áreas de crecimiento en la investigación.

“…The core objective of the proposed system is to provide a universal, consistent, and simple tool for ambient device access. CPU and memory virtualization techniques such as VT-x [10], AVIC [11], and paging [12] have been widely provided with type-1 hypervisors such as KVM and Xen [13]. I/O virtualization schemes such as virtio and vhost propose performance enhancement strategies, but the recent trends focus on the performance of the devices and barely cover the diversity of device access procedures.…”

Ambient computing creates a digital environment where a variety of technologies, including hardware, software, and even machine learning, are integrated into most useful and autonomous digital device that we want to use right here right now. The main obstacle for this computing is a barrier of vendor-specific details, programming interfaces, and access procedure even though all the things come to have network interfaces and interact with each other through the Internet. However, this configuration defies the expectation that ambient computing can reduce the demand for human attention. In this article, we propose Ambient Virtio, a device virtualization technology that virtualizes devices with the virtio framework. This allows devices in close proximity to users to be accessed without human intervention and integrated into metadevices that users want to create and access on the fly. We newly defined a virtio-based backend device named virtioambient and also constructed an ambient device architecture for virtual machines to read and write the remote device only with built-in system calls. We completely implemented the system and performed comparative evaluation with the existing applicationlevel data networking system.
