Communication stack optimized per application without virtual machine overhead

An electronic device for improving datacenter operation by establishing differentiated communication protocol stack support as a set of nano-services that are executed to service connections on a per application or server basis for the datacenter to reduce overhead caused by virtual machines or containers utilizing separate communication protocol stacks, the electronic device comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (517) having stored therein a communications stack orchestrator (507);
• and
• a processing device (515) coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the processing device configured to execute the communication stack orchestrator, the communication stack orchestrator configured to receive a request to for a server via a known network access type, from a known application type, by a known user, or a known policy, to determine whether the request can be serviced by an existing nano-service for the server, and to establish a new nano-service with a differentiated communication protocol stack instance for the server, in response to the request not being serviced by the existing nano-service.
