I just noticed this article about using Nova flavor extra-specs to pass QoS data down to the virtualization layer. For me, the key takeaway was that you need to carefully examine the architecture of your application(s) in order to understand where serverless (function-as-a-service) is the best fit. Virtualization. That’s handy.
