Title: Efficient Autoscaling of Microservices with QoS Assurance

Lecture Summary: The emerging trend towards moving from monolithic applications to microservices has been widely adopted in modern distributed systems and applications, which shifted the traditional applications into light-weight, fine-grained and self-contained microservices. This talk first highlights the main sources of resource inefficiencies for microservice-based system, and then introduces the challenges in addressing the efficient management of microservices with QoS assurance. Finally, some state-of-the-art approaches based on autoscaling microservices to assure QoS will be discussed.
