ABSTRACT="The edge computing paradigm aims at provisioning compute and storage
resources from Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled devices at the network
edge, while disseminating the end-to-end latency and increasing mobile
computational capacity. For scalable provisioning of microservices,
recently proposed methods frequently need a priori information on the
microservice type, computational capacity, and other parameters. In the
presence of such restrictions, the present methods need to face lower
quality of experience for mission-critical and resource-hungry
applications. In this paper, we study the problem of microservice
provisioning for mobile edge computing, and we propose an adaptive and
scalable solution. 
The core of our optimal microservice differentiation scheme is ASAP, a
microservice-level abstraction for the orchestration of network resources.
ASAP provides adaptive and scalable microservice provisioning by minimizing
microservice delay, while maximizing the network throughput. With a
prototype tested over a local testbed and trace-driven simulations, we show
how ASAP increases throughput compared to other solutions based on the
executions of microservices at the edge."
