Container migration for edge computing in industrial Internet with joint latency reduction and reliability enhancement.

Edge computing has emerged as a prominent trend in the field of information technology, offering flexible and robust resources for the industrial Internet. How to migrate container accurately is crucial for edge computing in the industrial Internet, as it plays a vital role in enhancing service response speed and safeguarding uninterrupted continuity of production operations. In this paper, we explore the problem of container migration in edge computing within the industrial Internet, aiming to reduce latency and enhance reliability. We establish a two-objective optimization model to comprehensively capture the container migration problem and formulate it as a constrained optimization model. The formulated model provides a systematic framework that effectively balances the trade-off between reducing latency and enhancing reliability. To tackle the migration strategy derived from the optimization model, we propose a migration algorithm based on the improved binary whale optimization algorithm. Our migration algorithm incorporates the adaptive probability and adaptive position weight within the hunting and searching operations, effectively enhancing the search efficiency during the solving process. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the established model in reducing the objective value, while the proposed migration algorithm surpasses existing algorithms by achieving an average reduction of at least 15.59% in the objective value.
