Function-as-a-Service Orchestration in Fog Computing Environments

Abstract

With the establishment of the Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) paradigm for service provisioning, coupled with the increasingly-demanding requirements imposed by modern network services, the need for a XaaS-aware orchestration system able to cope with a heterogeneous infrastructure, such as the one of Fog Computing environments, is evident. In this work, we describe the working principles and implementation aspects that allow the orchestration of services offered according to the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) model. The live demonstration will showcase the ability of the system to deploy this kind of services on a suitable test bed, with comments on the procedure and the performance.
