Abstract
A fog network includes a first fog network node configured to execute an application program, and a second fog network node configured to host a container. The first fog network node is configured to determine a need to offload at least a portion of the application program for execution in the second fog network node, access a registry to identify and locate a container image created from executable code of the application program stored in the fog network, and load the identified container image in the second fog network node. The second fog network node is configured to start the container in response to the container image being loaded, execute the executable code of the application program, and return a result from executing the executable code of the application program to the first fog network node.
