Research Area:  Edge Computing
Many edge computing systems rely on virtual machines (VMs) to deliver their services. It is challenging, however, to deploy the virtualization mechanisms on edge computing hardware infrastructures. In this paper, we introduce the engineering and research trends of achieving efficient VM management in edge computing. We elaborate on: 1) the virtualization frameworks for edge computing developed in both the industry and the academia; 2) the virtualization techniques tailored for edge computing; 3) the placement and scheduling algorithms optimized for edge computing; and 4) the research problems in security related to virtualization of edge computing.
