Krios: scheduling abstractions and mechanisms for enabling a LEO compute cloud
ACM SYMPOSIUM ON CLOUD COMPUTING · NOV 2024
Terrestrial orchestrators break when the data center moves at 27,000 km/h. Krios introduces the LEO zones abstraction — applications declare where they should be available, and the system keeps them served from whatever satellite is overhead.
