Hierarchical Federated MADRL for Sustainable Cloud-Edge Resource Orchestration

Cloud edge computing is a necessity for latency-sensitive applications such as smart cities and IoT, although efficient resource management is difficult due to dynamic workload and tight SLAs. Existing approaches suffer from scalability problems with the centralisation approach for resource management or the lack of coordination with the decentralisation approach. In this paper, we discuss the literature survey for the sustainable orchestration of resources. Our goal is to propose a framework that maximises the optimisation for task allocation, resource utilisation, SLA compliance, latency, and energy consumption while minimising the carbon footprint.
