MFOG: An Architecture in Fog for the CCOp Mv Application Infrastructure
Fog Computing, Architeture, Cloud, Container Migration
In disaster response operations, a great deal of coordination of various agents and institutions is required. The use of tactical and operational software is of great importance for the success of the operation. However, operations can take place in adverse locations with scarce Internet access resources. This limitation can generate problems in the provision of services, since such applications use remote processing, which is typically performed a distant datacenter. In this context, this research project proposes an architecture that explores the concepts of fog computing called MFog, with a focus on application resilience, this architecture can be used in places where, despite the existence of structures with computational resources close to the end user, access to the Internet is limited (similar to what happens in these operations). For this, minimal architecture components and orchestration mechanisms are defined based on container application migration models. The results obtained from a case study indicate that the proposed architecture can be resilient to the problems faced in the scenarios of these operations.
