A Task-Oriented Automatic Microservice Deployment Method For Industrial Edge Applications

Flexible production and intelligent manufacturing prompt a variety of production and computing requirements of industrial edge applications. Industrial edge applications need to adopt more flexible deployment methods to meet the new requirements from the new industrial cloud and edge paradigm. However, most legacy industrial applications are still based on a fixed order deployment method. In this paper, a task-oriented automatic edge-cloud collaborative microservice method is proposed to optimize the deployment process of industrial edge applications and improve the flexibility and expandability. The proposed method was verified by a case study of the thrust ball bearing producing.
