A Distributed Cloud Architecture Based on General De Bruijn Overlay Network

Distributed cloud systems enable the distribution of computing resources across various geographical locations. While offering benefits like accelerated content delivery, the scalability and coherence maintenance of these systems pose significant challenges. Recent studies reveal shortcomings in existing distributed system schemes to meet modern cloud application demands and maintain coherence among heterogeneous system elements. This paper proposes a service-oriented network architecture for distributed cloud computing networks. Using a De Bruijn network as a software-defined overlay network, the architecture ensures scalability and coherence. Through service-based addressing, requests are issued to designated service address bands, streamlining service discovery. The architecture's evaluation through extensive simulations showcases sustainable scalability and inherent load-balancing properties. The paper concludes with insights into future research directions, emphasizing the extension of the proposed architecture to emerging distributed cloud use cases and decentralized security.
