Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In recent years, containers are increasingly being adopted in edge computing environments, and Kubernetes is widely used to improve fault tolerance and load balance requests. However, Kubernetes is not effective in widely distributed environments because it does not consider the latency between containers when load balancing requests. Therefore, this research proposed a load balancing method that dynamically adjusts the ratio of requests forwarded to each site by considering the latency between sites using service mesh functions. The proposed method is compared to a conventional static load balancing method in a simulated environment of widely distributed sites. The results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the total number of served requests by more than 5% compared to the conventional method in a high-latency environment.
