Policy management for Docker ecosystem

Edge Computing is a form of geographically and dispersed distributed system. It shifts computing resources from a centralized paradigm i.e. Cloud or data center closer to the target objects e.g. data, user or sensors. By de-emphasizing centralization, it reduces communication bottlenecks and potential failure. Due to the nature of Edge Computing architecture challenges, resource management is complex. Policy management can automate and alleviate the management process that indirectly reduces the intervention of system administrators. A policy can be applied to multiple target edge devices to ensure its behavior uniformity. In this paper, we present our studies of the policy management system for managing edge resources. We present Mi-Focus Policy, which consist of Policy Hub for managing policies and Changkuk, a local Enforcement Engine which enforces policies in order to obtain a self-desired state required by the administrator.
