EDDE: Container Deployment Framework Beyond the Cloud

Containers, renowned for their lightweight nature and flexibility, have seen growing adoption for deploying edge services such as web applications. However, existing cloud-oriented container deployment frameworks fail to address the unique challenges of edge environments, including geographical distribution, device heterogeneity, and resource constraints. This oversight leads to suboptimal performance for latency-sensitive edge services like HPC/AI-powered autonomous driving and edge gaming, which demand rapid startup and immediate responsiveness.
