Abstract:

A design method of digital twin simulation platform based on micro-service architecture is proposed. The network energy saving optimization scenario that is accurately allocated with multi-dimensional resources is taken as an example. The communication interfaces are designed by splitting the loosely coupled simulation units in the platform. Based on Docker container technology and the Kubernetes platform, the micro-service simulation components are deployed, and the architecture of the digital twin simulation platform is upgraded. By merging the advantages of micro-service architecture, the platform can be more convenient for upgrading, function expansion, deployment and implementation in the future. The test results show that parallel computing can be realized in the form of containers with the proposed method, and the simulation time can be significantly shortened when the computing amount is large.
