Abstract: Technologies for providing efficient migration of services include a server device. The server device includes compute engine circuitry to execute a set of services on behalf of a terminal device and migration accelerator circuitry. The migration accelerator circuitry is to determine whether execution of the services is to be migrated from an edge station in which the present server device is located to a second edge station in which a second server device is located, determine a prioritization of the services executed by the server device, and send, in response to a determination that the services are to be migrated and as a function of the determined prioritization, data utilized by each service to the second server device of the second edge station to migrate the services. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for providing hardware resources as a service with direct resource addressability are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a device receives a request to access a destination accelerator device in an edge network, the request specifying a destination address assigned to the destination accelerator device. The device determines, as a function of the destination address, a location of the destination accelerator device and sends the request to the destination accelerator device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for defining and operating management services within a “domain” portion of an Internet of Things (IoT) network are disclosed herein. An example technique for implementing management functions of a device in a domain of the IoT network, for a device that is a defined within a hierarchy managed in the domain, may include: defining a resource structure in a secure virtual resource of the device, for a resource structure that identifies and defines at least one management service of the device; establishing properties of the at least one management service resource on the device within a resource structure, with the use of properties that are associated with a management function to be performed in the domain; and operating the device in the domain according to the management function. Further integration and use of management services and other management functions are also disclosed.

Abstract: An architecture to perform resource management among multiple network nodes and associated resources is disclosed. Example resource management techniques include those relating to: proactive reservation of edge computing resources; deadline-driven resource allocation; speculative edge QoS pre-allocation; and automatic QoS migration across edge computing nodes. In a specific example, a technique for service migration includes: identifying a service operated with computing resources in an edge computing system, involving computing capabilities for a connected edge device with an identified service level; identifying a mobility condition for the service, based on a change in network connectivity with the connected edge device; and performing a migration of the service to another edge computing system based on the identified mobility condition, to enable the service to be continued at the second edge computing apparatus to provide computing capabilities for the connected edge device with the identified service level.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for establishing network connectivity and onboarding for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and trusted platforms, including in Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) specification device deployments, are discussed. In an example, a zero touch owner transfer method includes operations of: receiving a first request from a new device for network access to begin an onboarding procedure with a network platform; transmitting credentials of a first network to the new device, the first network used to access a rendezvous server and obtain onboarding information associated with the network platform; receiving a second request from the new device for network access to continue the onboarding procedure; and transmitting credentials of a second network to the new device, as the new device uses the second network to access the onboarding server of the network platform and perform or complete the onboarding procedure with the network platform.

Abstract: Technologies for providing attestation for function as a service flavors include a compute device including circuitry configured to obtain function definition data indicative of a set of operations to be performed in a function and a set of hardware resources to be utilized by the function, execute a benchmark operation to produce benchmark data indicative of a measured performance of the function, and sign the function definition data and the benchmark data to produce function flavor data. The circuitry is also configured to provide the function flavor data to one or more other compute devices for validation that the function, when executed on the hardware resources, provides the measured performance and write, to a distributed ledger, the function flavor data.
