【Abstract】Edge computing represents the future of computing paradigms that perform tasks near the user plane. The integration of blockchain with edge computing provides the added advantage of secured and trusted communication. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based service migration by developing edge clusters using NVIDIA Jetson boards in an embedded edge environment, using containers and Kubernetes as a container orchestration capable of handling real-time computation-intensive deep learning tasks. Resource constraints in the edge and client movement are the proposed scenarios for service migration. Container migration due to mobile clients is integrated with blockchain to find a suitable destination, meta-based node evaluation, and secured data transfer in the connected car environment. Each service request migration takes, on average, 361 ms. The employed container migration method takes 75.11 s and 70.46 s to migrate application containers that use NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. Finally, we evaluate the efficiency of blockchain to find the destination node through performance parameters such as latency, throughput, storage, and bandwidth.
