Abstract
Embodiments may include novel techniques to communicate user preferences to the FaaS provider so as to provide full applicability of FaaS for business critical applications and to provide full realization of the FaaS model flexibility. For example, in an embodiment, a method may be implemented in a computer system comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and the method may comprise receiving a request for processing of a computing task and associated data indicating a context of an overall process flow for the computing task, wherein the request for processing is a function invocation for a FaaS computing system, evaluating the data indicating the context and scheduling computing resources for performing the computing task based on the data indicating the context, and performing the computing task using the scheduled computing resources.
