Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a redundant backup deployment method for microservice instances in edge computing environments. Redundant backup deployment of the microservice instances and the selection of a primary instance are acquired using Transformer-based deep reinforcement learning (T-DRL). For a service failing to satisfy the service level agreement (SLA), the actual service reliability is improved by downgrading the switching priority of the microservice instances; for a service satisfying the SLA, the deployment cost of the microservice instances is reduced using a pruning algorithm. The present disclosure effectively reduces the deployment cost of microservice instances and minimizes the number of active edge nodes while ensuring the SLA, thereby effectively reducing the resource consumption in edge computing environments.
