Container-Based Load Balancing and Monitoring Approach in Fog Computing System

• The Internet of Things has become a fast-growing area and has attracted considerable attention from the research communities. To provide satisfactory performance and efficiency in smart applications, it is inevitable to apply proper and efficient load balancing mechanisms. This paper presents a container-based load balancing and monitoring approach in fog-cloud environments. The presented architecture is composed of application services, message queuing system and online monitoring tools to address fault-detection, reliability, higher efficiency and scalability that are essential requirements of smart applications. In addition, an implementation of the proposed approach by using well-known technologies is presented, and the system is evaluated. Results indicate that using this model satisfies the requirements and can be considered as a practical solution to fog computing applications.
