Abstract
In crisis situations, it is important to be able to quickly gather information from various sources to form a complete and accurate picture of the situation. However, the different policies of participating companies often make it difficult to connect their information sources quickly, or to allow software to be deployed on their networks in a uniform way. The difficulty in deploying software is exacerbated by the fact that companies often use different software platforms in their existing networks. In this paper, Flexible federated Unified Service Environment (FUSE) is presented as a solution for joining multiple domains into a microservice based ad hoc federation, and for deploying and managing container-based software on the devices of a federation. The resource requirements for setting up a FUSE federation are examined, and a video streaming application is deployed to demonstrate the performance of software deployed on an example federation. The results show that FUSE can be deployed in 10 minutes or less, and that it can support multiple video streams under normal network conditions, making it a viable solution for the problem of quick and easy cross-domain federation.
