- Abstract
- The performance of Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) would be significantly improved by organizing cloud servers into a hierarchical distributed architecture, resulting in low-latency access and faster response when compared to centralized cloud. However, the distributed organization introduces a new type of decision making problem for placing and executing functions to a specific cloud server. In order to handle the problem, we extended a well-known cloud computing simulator, CloudSim. The extended CloudSim enables users to define FaaS functions with various characteristics and service level objectives (SLOs), place them across geo-distributed cloud servers, and evaluate per-function performance. Proof-of-Concept (PoC) evaluation results show the potential of our CloudSim extension in terms of execution efficiency and simulation reality.
