Web-based Management of Fog Computing Services implemented in Docker

The aim and motivation of this thesis project is to introduce the implementation of the Fog computing scenario. For possible demonstration, we use the feasible or concur solution already deployed in the cloud computing paradigm. An emerging trend of IoT in the current era required more development in cloud computing due to the centralized control of resources that is no-more beneficial in the IoT base scenario. A distributed base approach called Fog computing is introduced that manages the services without being the use of a centralized pool of cloud. Although, Fog cannot fully function without being centralized control. But in order to implement the Fog node, I used a hypervisor supported device to configure virtual machines on the server and considered it as edge or fog node and make it capable to hold Fog services. Further, I used the docker container orchestration tool configure along with the Apache server that can host webpages to interact with the Docker API support and last a local machine that is used to access the fog node by a browser. Further, I analyze the response time of on-demand service with respect to the number of containers and conclude that using Fog as an intermittent node reduces the overall container formation time as compared to those users that directly connect with the cloud server this approach can fulfill some level of latency requirement by IoT devices.
