REACT: A solidarity-based elastic service resource reallocation strategy for Multi-access Edge Computing

The Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) paradigm promises to enhance network flexibility and scalability through resource virtualization. MEC allows telecom operators fulfill the stringent heterogeneous requirements of 5G applications via service deployment at edge mobile network. However, current solutions support struggle provide elasticity since infrastructures have limited resources. coexistence many services on distributed infrastructure makes scarcity problem even more challenging than it already is in traditional networks. Services need distinct provisioning patterns due their diverse requirements, we may not assume an extensive that can accommodate arbitrary number services. To address these aspects, present REACT: a MEC-suppoRted sElf-adaptive elAstiCiTy mechanism leverages among different running shared environment. REACT adopts adaptive solidarity-based strategy redistribute resources from over-provisioned under-provisioned environments. alternative avoid migration scarcity. Real testbed results show outperforms Kubernetes’ by accomplishing up 18.88% events, reducing outages 95.1%, attempts 95.36%, 33.88%, 38.41%, 73% for CPU cycles, RAM bandwidth resources, respectively. Finally, reduces response time 15.5%.
