Role of the Container
Fundamental to the Aethir network, the Container is where the actual use of the cloud takes place. It acts as a virtual endpoint, executing and rendering the application (e.g., rendering the game for the player). The Container's purpose is to ensure that the cloud experience is immediate and responsive, offering a "zero lag" experience. This is achieved by shifting the workload from the local device to the Container (e.g., shifting all game execution and command processing).
Operational Considerations:
Container Status: Must always be in a ready state, prepared for immediate activation upon consumer request.
Application Deployment: Each Container should have the application or services pre-installed and configured to allow quick access and startup.
Processing Capability: Containers need to meet specific processing and graphical requirements to handle the applications or services without performance issues.
Network Efficiency: Must possess the bandwidth and network infrastructure to support high-speed data transfer and low-latency interactions.
Selection Process:
Performance-Based: Containers are selected based on their ability to provide the highest quality of service with the lowest possible latency and cost.
Experience Optimization: Containers are assessed for their capability to deliver the best possible consumer or enterprise application experience, considering factors such as frame rate and resolution.
Resource Provisioning:
Rewards for Readiness: Containers receive compensation for maintaining a state of high readiness and for providing standby services.
Incentives for Service: Additional rewards are given for the actual runtime during which Containers are actively used by consumers.
Quality Assurance:
Performance Validation: A Container's performance is regularly checked to ensure it continues to meet the network's standards.
Service Feedback: The actual user experience is monitored and used to adjust the priority and selection of Containers in the future.
