Optimizing Serverless Processing with a Smart Hybrid Cloud Scheduler

Rajashekhar Reddy Kethireddy

Abstract: Serverless computing, driven by FunctionasaService FaaS, and edge computing are both expanding fields. While both offer significant benefits, they are often incompatible. This paper proposes a hybrid approach to combine the strengths of both paradigms using a heterogeneous edgecloud infrastructure based on KubeEdge. The proposed architecture enables serverless computing frameworks like OpenFaaS to operate across cloud and edge nodes, optimizing the scheduling of FaaS workloads to enhance performance and efficiency.
