This thesis brings together two reports that focus on building a simplified secure compute abstraction across the cloud-edge. Cloudless is a serverless execution hierarchy that spans a multi-cloud to edge continuum and provides transparent function invocation across hybrid infrastructure. Cloudless provides a multi-cloud edge abstraction, enabling a simplified vendor-agnostic serverless computing model. Communicating with multiple regions brings about privacy concerns around authentication, anonymization, and integrity. Mixclaves is a metadata private messaging architecture that builds on hardware enclaves to provide a cost-efficient, low latency messaging service implementation deployable in public clouds. The work Cloudless and Mixclaves works towards the vision of an anonymous, cost-efficient, low latency, scalable computing paradigm that operates on multi-cloud and edge.
