Abstract
A method for optimal placement of microservices of a micro-services-based application in a multi-tiered computing network environment employing 5G technology is presented. The method includes accessing a centralized server or cloud to request a set of services to be deployed on a plurality of sensors associated with a plurality of devices, the set of services including launching an application on a device of the plurality of devices, modeling the application as a directed graph with vertices being microservices and edges representing communication between the microservices, assigning each of the vertices of the directed graph with two cost weights, employing an edge monitor (EM), an edge scheduler (ES), an alerts-manager at edge (AM-E), and a file transfer (FT) at the edge to handle partitioning of the microservices, and dynamically mapping the microservices to the edge or the cloud to satisfy application-specific response times.
