At the same time, it allows cloud providers to assert control in workload consolidation, i.e., co-locating multiple containers on the same server, thereby achieving higher server utilization, often at the cost of higher end-to-end function request latency. Interestingly, a key aspect of serverless latency management has not been well studied: the trade-off between application developers' latency goals and the FaaS providers' utilization goals. This paper presents a multi-faceted, measurement-driven study of latency variation in serverless platforms that elucidates this trade-off space. We obtained production measurements by executing FaaS benchmarks on IBM Cloud and a private cloud to study the impact of workload consolidation, queuing delay, and cold starts on the end-to-end function request latency. We draw several conclusions from the characterization results. For example, increasing a container's allocated memory limit from 128 MB to 256 MB reduces the tail latency by 2× but has 1.75× higher power consumption and 59% lower CPU utilization.","PeriodicalId":270470,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC7) 2021","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126327328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike conventional instances, the CPU capacity of burstable instances is rate limited, but they can be boosted to their full capacity for small periods when needed. Currently, the majority of cloud providers offer this option as a cheaper solution for their clients. However, little research has been done on the practical usage of these CPU-limited instances. In this paper, we present a novel autoscaling solution that uses burstable instances along with regular instances to handle the queueing arising in traffic and flash crowds. We design BIAS Autoscaler, a state-of-the-art framework that leverages burstable and regular instances for cost-efficient autoscaling and evaluate it on the Google Cloud Platform. We apply our framework to a real-world microservice workload, and conduct extensive experimental evaluations using Google Compute Engines. Experimental results show that BIAS Autoscaler can reduce the overall cost up to 25% and increase resource efficiency by 42% while maintaining the same service quality observed when using conventional instances only.","PeriodicalId":270470,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC7) 2021","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122541605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
