Edge Computing is the strongest candidate for providing low-latency responses, but it is not yet clear what edge infrastructures will be like. This paper introduces a new platform for enabling an edge infrastructure according to a disaggregated distributed cloud architecture and an opportunistic model based on bare-metal providers. Results from a multi-server online gaming application deployed in a real geo-distributed edge infrastructure show the feasibility, performance and cost efficiency of the solution.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10723-021-09545-3open access6.
