PREDICTIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN AN EDGE COMPUTING NETWORK UTILIZING GEOLOCATION FOR ORCHESTRATION

摘要

The present technology relates to improving computing services in a distributed network of remote computing resources, such as edge nodes in an edge compute network. In an aspect, the technology relates to a method that includes receiving, from a mobile computing device, first location data for the mobile computing device at a first time; receiving, from the mobile computing device, second location data for the mobile computing device at a second time; and based on the first location data and the second location data, determining a direction vector for the mobile computing device. The method also includes, based on the direction vector: identifying an edge node from a plurality of edge nodes corresponding to a predicted location of the mobile computing device; and prior to the mobile computing device being in the predicted location, allocating computing resources for the computing service on the identified edge node.
