Abstract

Cloud infrastructures are extremely flexible and powerful, but their data centers are located very far from the end users. To address the limitations of these systems, many researchers are designing mobile edge clouds which complement traditional clouds with additional resources located in immediate proximity of the end users. However, currently there exists no open-source mobile edge cloud implementation which can easily be deployed over a campus or a city center to support real-world experimentations. We therefore present the design and implementation of MEC-ConPaaS, a mobile-edge cloud platform, which aims to support future research on edge cloud applications and middlewares. The system exploits single-board computers such as Raspberry Pis which are an order of magnitude cheaper than any server machine and much easier to setup in a distributed setting. We demonstrate that these devices are powerful enough to support real cloud applications, and to support further research on these topics.

MEC-ConPaaS:基于单板的实验性移动边缘云

云基础设施非常灵活和强大，但它们的数据中心离最终用户很远。为了解决这些系统的局限性，许多研究人员正在设计移动边缘云，它与位于终端用户附近的额外资源互补传统云。然而，目前还没有开源的移动边缘云实现，可以很容易地部署在校园或城市中心，以支持现实世界的实验。因此，我们提出了MEC-ConPaaS的设计和实现，这是一个移动边缘云平台，旨在支持边缘云应用程序和中间件的未来研究。该系统利用单板计算机，如Raspberry Pis，比任何服务器机器都便宜一个数量级，并且更容易在分布式设置中设置。我们证明了这些设备足够强大，可以支持真正的云应用程序，并支持对这些主题的进一步研究。
