Microservice-Oriented Edge Server Deployment in Cloud-Edge System

Abstract

With the advent of the fifth generation communication system (5G), edge computing has been more widely used. In edge computing, in order to maximize the use of resources, and to deal with the computation request as soon as possible, the layout and allocation of edge server is particularly important. Due to the unpredictability of user behavior, a new problem appeared that is how to arrange each edge server in the appropriate location and then reasonably allocate the spare computing resources after the user makes a request so that the request can be processed within a certain time. In this paper, we design a server deployment mechanism for edge computing – a high response ratio computing resource scheduling mechanism for edge computing and the problems encountered in edge computing. At the same time, this paper implements a set of simulation prototype system of edge computing, and simulates the service request and server resource allocation in edge computing. Through the simulation results, this paper analyzes the reasons for the failure of the edge computing request. It is verified that the mechanism designed in this paper has good effects on alleviating and smoothing the number of failed edge service requests and improving the overall edge server processing efficiency.
