SDFog: A Software Defined Computing Architecture for QoS Aware Service Orchestration over Edge Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloud computing revolutionized the information technology (IT) industry by offering dynamic and infinite scaling, on-demand resources and utility-oriented usage. However, recent changes in user traffic and requirements have exposed the shortcomings of cloud computing, particularly the inability to deliver real-time responses and handle massive surge in data volumes. Fog computing, that brings back partial computation load from the cloud to the edge devices, is envisioned to be the next big change in computing, and has the potential to address these challenges. Being a highly distributed, loosely coupled and still in the emerging phase, standardization, quality-ofservice management and dynamic adaptability are the key challenges faced by fog computing research fraternity today. This article aims to address these issues by proposing a serviceoriented middleware that leverages the convergence of cloud and fog computing along with software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) to achieve the aforementioned goals. The proposed system, called Software Defined Fog (SDFog), abstracts connected entities as services and allows applications to orchestrate these services with endto-end QoS requirements. A use-case showing the necessity of such a middleware has been presented to show the efficacy of the SDN-based QoS control over the Fog. This article aims at developing an integrated system to realize the software-defined control over fog infrastructure. Keywords-service-oriented architecture ; fog computing ; software-defined network ; quality-of-service
