Cloudrone：天空中的微云
Cloudrone: Micro Clouds in the Sky
摘要：
近年来，已经采取了若干举措，使下一个30亿人能够上网。接入互联网必然意味着获得其服务。这意味着提供互联网接入的目标需要访问其关键服务基础设施，这些基础设施目前托管在云中。然而，最近的研究指出，目前互联网以云为中心的性质是农村/偏远地区以及发展中地区互联网接入的根本障碍。探索（低成本）解决方案非常重要，例如可以在网络边缘（可能按需）提供服务的微云基础设施，就在用户附近。在本文中，我们提出了Cloudrone-一个初步的想法，部署一个轻量级的微型云基础设施在天空中使用本地建造的低成本无人机，单板的计算机和轻量级的操作系统虚拟化技术。我们的论文提出了这样一个系统的初步想法，可以即时按需部署。我们描述了Cloudrone的初步设计，并提供了初步评估所提出的系统主要集中在支持多个服务和用户的可扩展性问题。
英文摘要：
Recent years have witnessed several initiatives on enabling Internet access to the next three billion people. Access to the Internet necessarily translates to access to its services. This means that the goal of providing Internet access requires ac- cess to its critical service infrastructure, which are currently hosted in the cloud. However, recent works have pointed out that the current cloud centric nature of the Internet is a fundamental barrier for Internet access in rural/remote areas as well as in developing regions. It is important to explore (low cost) solutions such as micro cloud infrastructures that can provide services at the edge of the network (potentially on demand), right near the users. In this paper, we present Cloudrone- a preliminary idea of deploying a lightweight micro cloud infrastructure in the sky using indigenously built low cost drones, single board computers and lightweight Operating System virtualization technologies. Our paper lays out the preliminary ideas on such a system that can be instantaneously deployed on demand. We describe an initial design of the Cloudrone and provide a preliminary evaluation of the proposed system mainly focussed on the scalability issues of supporting multiple services and users.
