Global Resource Service(GRS)

What is Global Resource Service

Global Resource Service(GRS) is one of the corner stones for the Regionless Cloud Platform. It provides abstraction, collection, aggregation of resources from each region and dynamic resource distribution to schedulers cross all regions globally.

GRS aims to be an open source solution to address key challenges of managing compute resources in the regionless cloud platform, such as:

1. Provide resource abstraction for various hardware types and machine types
2. Aggregate compute resources from all regions globally and distribute the desired set of resources to schedulers globally
3. Manage large scale of resource pool and distribute them with low latency
4. Balance resource allocation for ideal resource utilization globally

Architecture

Key Features

• Large Scalability and high performance resource service and resource change propagation pipeline

• Provide resource collection and aggregation from multiple regions globally

• Heterogenious hardware type and machine type support

• Abstraction of compute resources

• Distribute/Balance/adjustment of resource allocation for ideal resource utilization
