Abstract
Cloud computing has been tremendously successful in providing a commercial infrastructure for hosting computationally intensive applications. Nevertheless, an increasing number of Low Latency Applications (LLAs) notably in the entertainment, IoT, and automative domains require response times much smaller than the supported ones by the typical “client-to-cloud” network model. Cloudlets have been introduced as “data centres in a box”, for bringing computing resources “closer” to the end users. As a result, LLAs can take advantage of cloudlets to improve their Quality-of-Service (QoS) by reducing the underlying response times between their users and application instances’ location. In this work, we study the emerging market of stateful LLAs’ provisioning over geo-distributed third-party cloudlets. We assume that cloudlets offer their resources in the form of Virtual Machines (VMs) via collocated markets. Forwarding requests for LLAs interact with cloudlet markets for performing on-path and on-demand resource provisioning. We introduce a pricing scheme where users pay a fixed price for each time unit of their engagement to an LLA instance. Our evaluation on realistic topologies and application requests demonstrate the merits of on-demand provisioning when accompanied by a payas-you-go pricing scheme.
