Implementation of Docker for mobile edge computing embedded platform

Abstract

Some of the glitches in Mobile cloud computing are high latency, network bottleneck, and congestion. From a centralized to a decentralized computing scenario, Mobile Edge computing can transfer the computation to the edge, which decreases the response time for the application and increase the user experience. This paper assesses Docker as a medium for Edge Computing, a container-based technology. Docker can be seen as an open platform for designers and system managers to use Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool to build, ship, run applications, and Docker hub. This cloud service distributes applications and mechanizing workflows. The key benefit is that, as soon as possible, Docker can get code checked and can fit into production. This paper will discuss Docker and present how this technology has overcome the earlier problems of virtualization with building and deploying large applications in two ways. We have implemented Docker of YOLO and AQM models on Jetson TX2 and compared both applications on Docker and Host OS. We can use dockers in two ways either we can use previously made dockers or build our own Docker according to our needs. In this paper, I have used the Docker image of YOLO and built my own Docker for AQM Model. These Docker containers' performance measured in this paper based on their device performance, memory consumption, boot time, and Docker performed very well.
