Energy-aware service migration in end-edge-cloud collaborative networks
Résumé
Empowered by edge computing, resources and computation capabilities provided by edge devices can be encapsulated as containerized services. When burst requests are coming, there may have edge devices which are overloaded, since most requests are spatially and temporally constrained, and edge devices are resource-scarceness and capacity-limited. Overloaded devices should be relieved through optimally migrating one or more activated services to contiguous edge devices. Besides, sensory data gathered by original edge devices should be periodically transmitted to migrated devices for data analysis purpose. To mitigate this issue, this paper proposes an Energy-efficient Online Service Migration (EOSM) mechanism to conduct the migration of multiple services simultaneously. Extensive experimental results show that our EOSM mechanism outperforms the state of arts techniques in mitigating overloaded services in terms of access latency, energy consumption, and request success rate.
