Abstract
Microservices are predictively deployed on edge devices in a network. An application is run on a client device, the application comprising a set of microservices runnable on any edge device in a set of two or more edge devices. A state of the client device at a first time is determined, the state including one or more microservices currently being run for the client device, and for each microservice currently being run, an edge device running the microservice. One or more microservices that are likely to be run at a second time subsequent to the first time and a location of the client device at the second time are predicted. Based on the predicted location, a next edge device in the set of edge devices is determined for running the one or more microservices predicted to be run at the second time.
