Mosaic: Optimizing Cloud Resource Efficiency with Lazily-Packaged Application Modules

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Modern cloud platforms require users to build their application code and package it with its run-time dependencies in a hardware-agnostic package like a container or VM image. Packaging applications before their deployment on their target hardware prevents users from leveraging optimized hardware or harnessing opportunities that appear at run-time, like application co-location for faster communication. This forces developers to preemptively package the same application for an ever-increasing universe of possible target architectures, bloating cloud storage and package registries.
