Method and system for secure container application framework

An edge computing gateway (ECG), comprising:

• a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
• establish a distributed container network comprising a plurality of ECGs, wherein each ECG includes an orchestrator and containers, and the ECGs are interconnected via a network;
• determine, by the orchestrator of the ECG, available resources on one or more additional ECGs in the distributed container network;
• select one of the additional ECGs in the distributed container network to run a container based on the available resources determined by the orchestrator of the ECG;
• allocate resources from the selected ECG to execute the container;
• and
• in response to changes in resource demands, dynamically reallocate resources between the ECG and the selected ECG to adjust container performance across the distributed container network.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a processor in an edge computing gateway (ECG) to perform operations for dynamic resource allocation across a distributed edge computing network, the operations comprising:

• establishing a distributed container network comprising a plurality of edge computing gateways (ECGs), wherein each ECG includes an orchestrator and containers, and the ECGs are interconnected via a network;
• determining, by the orchestrator of a first ECG, available resources on one or more additional ECGs in the distributed container network;
• selecting, by the orchestrator of the first ECG, a second ECG in the distributed container network to run a container based on the available resources;
• reallocating resources from the second ECG to run the container, wherein the orchestrator determines an appropriate node to adjust resource utilization;
• and
• in response to changes in resource demands, dynamically reallocating resources between the first ECG and the second ECG to adjust performance of the container.
