Abstract
Nowadays, the usage of the fog cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) applications among users has been growing progressively. These applications may be E-Transport, E-Healthcare, Augmented Reality, and 3D-Game. Generally, contemporary cloud frameworks offer services based on virtual machines. These frameworks incurred with following issues such as long boot-time, overhead and unnecessary cost to run the IoT applications. We propose a new Microservice container fog system (MSCFS) based framework to run the mobility and delay-sensitive applications with minimum cost. The study the cost-efficient task scheduling problem in the heterogeneous fog servers. Furthermore, the study introduces the Cost Aware Computational Offloading and task scheduling (CACOTS)framework, which solves the task scheduling into multiple steps. Such as task sequencing step, resource matching step and scheduling step. The experimental results prove that the proposed MSCFS and CACOTS schemes can enhance server utilization. As decrease the services latency and average services bootup time more effectively, and minimize costs.
