• The enhanced snapshot-based approach addresses the challenges of creating new function instances and supporting fast auto-scaling in response to burst traffic.
• The approach involves breaking the original function code image into essential and non-essential code blocks.
• A small program is developed to regenerate a new set of unique data associated with a specific micro VM instance.
• Existing running micro VMs resource boundary is adjusted to create more function containers.
• The approach reduces code start latency and saves time.
• The snapshot file needs to be downloaded before starting the container.
• The essential code blocks are smaller and only a small portion of the data are actually used during the function test run.
• The snapshot file and essential code blocks combined are much smaller than the original image size.
• This results in a shorter downloading time and a shorter code start time.
