Distributed Resource Orchestration at the Edge Based on Consensus

Abstract

This paper presents a consensus-based distributed solution for orchestrating microservices at the Edge. Our approach aims to distribute workloads among Edge nodes while ensuring trust and, at the same time, robust decision-making in a distributed log system. The proposed framework enhances the benefits of distributed systems for functionalities traditionally centralized, enabling trust through the use of consensus. We present the details of our solution and then we evaluate its performance.
