Abstract(s)
The commodity Single Board Computers (SBCs)
are increasingly becoming powerful and can execute standard
operating systems and mainstream workloads. In the context
of cloud-based smart city applications, SBCs can be utilized as
Edge computing devices reducing the network communication.
In this paper, we investigate the design and implementation of
a SBC based edge cluster (SBC-EC) framework for a smart
parking application. Since SBCs are resource constrained devices,
we devise a container based framework for a lighter foot-print.
Kubernetes was used as an orchestration tool to orchestrate
various containers in the framework. To validate our approach,
we implemented a proof-of-concept of the SBC based Edge cluster
for a smart parking application, as a possible ioT use-case.Our
implementation shows that, the use of SBC devices at the edge of
a cloud based smart parking application is a cost effective and
low energy, green computing solution. The proposed framework
can be extended to similar cloud based applications in the context
of a smart city.
