What is it about?
This paper presents a model of distributed, community elastic computation cloud for running containerized applications on low power devices. Increasingly more applications use cloud computation they are even called cloud-native. However, only big cloud providers offer computational resources to the client applications. The major cloud providers use big centralized datacenters with huge power consumption and carbon footprint. Big tech companies hold a monopoly on data and resources. Many people and organizations do not want to be dependent on giant tech companies. Our solution offers a model for building a distributed community-driven cloud for running containerized applications on low power devices. Our solutions will allow ordinary people and communities to build low cost distributed clouds. It is a step in a direction that offers alternative and freedom from the big tech companies and has a small carbon footprint.
