| Popis: | Cloud Computing and IoT have been around for quite some time. The use of Cloud Computing to compute or to store IoT data is useful as Cloud can offer such an effective and cheap solution to access resources from the edge. However, extensively use such resources may face degradation since the data and applications are processed in the cloud where every bit of data is transferred over the network from the edge. In this paper, we describe our work on extending our Cloud Computing infrastructure to the edge environment by exploiting the use of Docker containers as a mean of virtualization that run at the edge. Possible scenarios of cyber infrastructure to support IoT services that may take advantage of edge computing concept are described. Next, we describe the edge requirement and discuss the challenges that are arisen for those scenarios. Experiment sets to see the potentiality of Docker container as a mean ofvirtualization for the edge environment are also described and discussed. Finally, we summarize our work and discuss the future work. |
