Abstract:

Internet of Things (IoT) for warehouse automation in new generation industries and for home gateway in smart homes have very tight latency requirements for data computation and response. To satisfy the requirements, many studies have moved the computation close to IoT devices by virtualizing the services using containers and deploying them on IoT gateways. They do not account for limited resources at IoT gateways, and without careful provisioning IoT gateways can easily become overloaded and inevitably increase the computation time. Currently there are few studies on performance evaluation of containerized services under constrained resources. To enable efficient service provisioning on IoT gateways, this paper presents the empirical evaluation of Docker Swarm (DS), a container solution, on resource constrained devices such as Raspberry Pi3 boards. We have used multiple open source Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Deep Learning (DL) based data analytic solutions in our experiments to evaluate creation time, CPU utilization, and memory usage. Our results reveal that creation time and memory usage of service container are critical factors for dynamic provisioning in constrained environments. The lessons learned from our empirical case studies with IDS and DL based data analytic services provide essential guidelines for micro services architectures in IoT gateways.
