Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed for mapping active assurance intents to resource orchestration and life cycle management. An example apparatus disclosed herein is to reserve a probe on a compute device in a cluster of compute devices based on a request to satisfy a resource availability criterion associated with a resource of the cluster, apply a risk mitigation operation based on the resource availability criterion before deployment of a workload to the cluster, and monitor whether the criterion is satisfied based on data from the probe after deployment of the workload to the cluster.

Abstract: Technologies for providing dynamic selection of edge and local accelerator resources includes a device having circuitry to identify a function of an application to be accelerated, determine one or more properties of an accelerator resource available at the edge of a network where the device is located, and determine one or more properties of an accelerator resource available in the device. Additionally, the circuitry is to determine a set of acceleration selection factors associated with the function, wherein the acceleration factors are indicative of one or more objectives to be satisfied in the acceleration of the function. Further, the circuitry is to select, as a function of the one or more properties of the accelerator resource available at the edge, the one or more properties of the accelerator resource available in the device, and the acceleration selection factors, one or more of the accelerator resources to accelerate the function.

Abstract: Technologies for providing streamlined provisioning of accelerated functions in a disaggregated architecture include a compute sled. The compute sled includes a network interface controller and circuitry to determine whether to accelerate a function of a workload executed by the compute sled, and send, to a memory sled and in response to a determination to accelerate the function, a data set on which the function is to operate. The circuitry is also to receive, from the memory sled, a service identifier indicative of a memory location independent handle for data associated with the function, send, to a compute device, a request to schedule acceleration of the function on the data set, receive a notification of completion of the acceleration of the function, and obtain, in response to receipt of the notification and using the service identifier, a resultant data set from the memory sled. The resultant data set was produced by an accelerator device during acceleration of the function on the data set. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for accelerated orchestration and attestation include multiple edge devices. An edge appliance device performs an attestation process with each of its components to generate component certificates. The edge appliance device generates an appliance certificate that is indicative of the component certificates and a current utilization of the edge appliance device and provides the appliance certificate to a relying party. The relying party may be an edge orchestrator device. The edge orchestrator device receives a workload scheduling request with a service level agreement requirement. The edge orchestrator device verifies the appliance certificate and determines whether the service level agreement requirement is satisfied based on the appliance certificate. If satisfied, the workload is scheduled to the edge appliance device. Attestation and generation of the appliance certificate by the edge appliance device may be performed by an accelerator of the edge appliance device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for providing efficient data access in an edge infrastructure include a compute device comprising circuitry configured to identify pools of resources that are usable to access data at an edge location. The circuitry is also configured to receive a request to execute a function at an edge location. The request identifies a data access performance target for the function. The circuitry is also configured to map, based on a data access performance of each pool and the data access performance target of the function, the function to a set of the pools to satisfy the data access performance target.

Abstract: Technologies for providing dynamic persistence of data in edge computing include a device including circuitry configured to determine multiple different logical domains of data storage resources for use in storing data from a client compute device at an edge of a network. Each logical domain has a different set of characteristics. The circuitry is also to configured to receive, from the client compute device, a request to persist data. The request includes a target persistence objective indicative of an objective to be satisfied in the storage of the data. Additionally, the circuitry is configured to select, as a function of the characteristics of the logical domains and the target persistence objective, a logical domain into which to persist the data and provide the data to the selected logical domain.
