Nowadays, Edge computing allows to push the application intelligence at the boundaries of a network in order to get high-performance processing closer to both data sources and end-users. In this scenario, the Horizon 2020 BEACON project - enabling federated Cloud-networking - can be used to setup Fog computing environments were applications can be deployed in order to instantiate Edge computing applications. In this paper, we focus on the deployment orchestration of Edge computing distributed services on such fog computing environments. We assume that a distributed service is composed of many microservices. Users, by means of geolocation deployment constrains can select regions in which microservices will be deployed. Specifically, we present an Orchestration Broker that starting from an ad-hoc OpenStack-based Heat Orchestraton Template (HOT) service manifest of an Edge computing distributed service produces several HOT microservice manifests including the the deployment instruction for each involved Fog computing node.

Abstract
Nowadays, Edge computing allows to push the application intelligence at the boundaries of a network in order to get high-performance processing closer to both data sources and end-users. In this scenario, the Horizon 2020 BEACON project - enabling federated Cloud-networking - can be used to setup Fog computing environments were applications can be deployed in order to instantiate Edge computing applications. In this paper, we focus on the deployment orchestration of Edge computing distributed services on such fog computing environments. We assume that a distributed service is composed of many microservices. Users, by means of geolocation deployment constrains can select regions in which microservices will be deployed. Specifically, we present an Orchestration Broker that starting from an ad-hoc OpenStack-based Heat Orchestraton Template (HOT) service manifest of an Edge computing distributed service produces several HOT microservice manifests including the the deployment instruction for each involved Fog computing node. Experiments prove the goodness of our approach.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
