This letter presents two maintenance strategies, Lamp and Laxus, which take into account user locations to make migration decisions during edge server maintenance, resulting in a 44.27% reduction in maintenance time compared to existing strategies while effectively avoiding delay bottlenecks.
Efficient server maintenance and update is essential to prevent performance and security issues in edge computing environments. Despite many initiatives in maintenance planning, state-of-the-art approaches concentrate on carrying out updates in cloud data centers, ignoring aspects of the problem that are specific to the edge computing paradigm, such as user-location awareness. In this letter, we present two maintenance strategies, called Lamp and Laxus, that consider users' locations when performing migration decisions to avoid delay bottlenecks during edge servers maintenance. Results show that the proposed strategies can reduce maintenance time by 44.27% compared to existing strategies while effectively avoiding delay bottlenecks.
