Abstract
One question to answer the shift from the Cloud to the Edge computing paradigm is: how distributed applications developed for Cloud platforms can benefit from the opportunities of the Edge while dealing with inherent constraints of wide-area network links? Leveraging the modularity of microservice-based applications, we propose to deploy multiple instances of the same service (one per edge site) and deliver collaborations between them according to each request. Collaborations are expressed thanks to a DSL and orchestrated in a transparent manner by the Cheops runtime. We demonstrate the relevance of our proposal by geo-distributing Kubernetes resources.

Notes
- 1.
We underline we do not consider disconnections between users and their Edge location. Edge elements are supposed to be as close as possible to prevent this situation.
