Abstract
Nowadays, cloud providers cannot serve applications with low latency requirements. It is possible to run applications closer to the user through Fog and Edge computing. This article presents an architecture capable of orchestrating applications across multi-clouds. We used a fake application composed of six microservices to measure its latency in five different scenarios. Tests showed that the orchestrator allowed connecting data centers in different regions. It was also possible for applications in different data centers to communicate directly through proxies and with security. We observed that in scenarios where part of the microservices ran only on Fog or Fog and Edge, there was lower latency than microservices running on the cloud.
