Mobility management of edge servers in a computing environment

A computer system, comprising:

• a processor set;
• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions executable by the processor set to cause the processor set to:
• detect a trigger to initiate management of a set of Internet of Things (IoT) devices via at least one first mobile edge server, wherein the at least one first mobile edge server is configured to manage the set of IoT devices during an execution of an operational activity by the set of IoT devices;
• determine a weighting factor of each IoT device of the set of IoT devices based on the detecting of the trigger and a set of attributes of the set of IoT devices;
• determine a first weighted centroid of the set of IoT devices based on the weighting factor and a first set of spatial coordinates of each IoT device of the set of IoT devices;
• generate a deployment command to deploy the at least one first mobile edge server at the first weighted centroid, wherein the at least one first mobile edge server is deployed at the first weighted centroid to manage the set of IoT devices;
• monitor at least one of the set of attributes or the first set of spatial coordinates based on the deployment command, wherein the monitoring of the at least one of the set of attributes or the first set of spatial coordinates is in a duration of the execution of the operational activity;
• detect one or more updates in the at least one of the set of attributes or the first set of spatial coordinates based on the monitoring of the at least one of the set of attributes or the first set of spatial coordinates;
• determine a second weighted centroid of the set of IoT devices based on the first weighted centroid, the one or more updates, and the deployment command;
• update the deployment command based on the second weighted centroid;
• and
• deploy the at least one first mobile edge server at the second weighted centroid based on the updated deployment command.

A computer program product for mobility management of edge servers in a computing environment, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a trigger to initiate management of a set of Internet of Things (IoT) devices via at least one first mobile edge server, wherein the at least one first mobile edge server is configured to manage the set of IoT devices during an execution of an operational activity by the set of IoT devices;
• obtaining a set of attributes associated with each IoT device of the set of IoT devices based on the detecting of the trigger;
• determining a weighting factor of each IoT device of the set of IoT devices based on the set of attributes;
• obtaining a first set of spatial coordinates of each IoT device of the set of IoT devices based on the weighting factor, wherein each IoT device of the set of IoT devices follows the first set of spatial coordinates during the execution of the operational activity;
• determining a first weighted centroid of the set of IoT devices based on the weighting factor and the first set of spatial coordinates;
• and
• generating a deployment command to deploy the at least one first mobile edge server at the first weighted centroid, wherein the at least one first mobile edge server is deployed at the first weighted centroid for the management of the set of IoT devices.
