Abstract

The rapid proliferation of shared edge computing platforms has enabled application service providers to deploy a wide variety of services with stringent latency and high bandwidth requirements. A key advantage of these platforms is that they provide pay-as-you-go flexibility by charging clients in proportion to their resource usage through short-term contracts. This affords the client significant cost-saving opportunities by dynamically deciding when to host its service on the platform, depending on the changing intensity of requests. A natural policy for our setting is the Time-To-Live (TTL) policy. We show that TTL performs poorly both in the adversarial arrival setting, i.e., in terms of the competitive ratio, and for i.i.d. stochastic arrivals with low arrival rates, irrespective of the value of the TTL timer. We propose an online policy called RetroRenting (RR) and characterize its performance in terms of the competitive ratio. Our results show that RR overcomes the limitations of TTL. In addition, we provide performance guarantees for RR for i.i.d. stochastic arrival processes coupled with negatively associated rent cost sequences and prove that it compares well with the optimal online policy. Further, we conduct simulations using both synthetic and real-world traces to compare the performance of RR with the optimal offline and online policies. The simulations show that the performance of RR is near optimal for all settings considered. Our results illustrate the universality of RR.
