Abstract
Various approaches for implementing platform resource management are described. In an edge computing system deployment, an edge computing device includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain, from an orchestration provider, an SLO (or SLA) that defines usage of an accessible feature of the edge computing device by a container executing on a virtual machine within the edge computing system. A computation model is retrieved based on at least one key performance indicator (KPI) specified in the SLO. The defined usage of the accessible feature is mapped to a plurality of feature controls using the retrieved computation model. The plurality of feature controls is associated with platform resources of the edge computing device that are pre-allocated to the container. The usage of the platform resources allocated to the container is monitored using the plurality of feature controls.
