做边缘计算或云边协同的团队终于有了解决冷启动问题的实用方案——自动混合本地数据与公开数据集，无需手动标注就能生成高精度预测模型，建议做运维自动化的开发者点开看看。
云边连续体（CEC）通过将资源分布到边缘来支持延迟敏感应用，但其高度波动性需要基于时间序列预测的零接触管理。然而，新发现的节点缺乏历史数据，导致预测模型面临严重的“冷启动”问题。该研究提出了一种全自动时间序列预测架构，通过数据混合方法解决此问题：引入轻量级资源暴露器（RE）动态发现节点并收集遥测数据，同时将稀疏的本地样本与公开高分辨率数据集TimeTrack（45秒间隔）自动融合。实验表明，这种混合方法显著提升了预测精度（MSE、MAE、MAPE指标），并加速了模型收敛，为持续MLOps部署奠定了基础。
Zero Touch Predictive Orchestration: Automating Time-Series Models for the Cloud-Edge Continuum
The Cloud-Edge Continuum (CEC) enables latency-critical applications by distributing resources to the far edge, but its extreme volatility makes proactive Zero Touch Management via time-series forecasting essential. However, orchestrators face a severe "cold start" problem: newly discovered nodes lack the historical data required to train localized predictive models, while generalized models fail to capture unique hardware and microservice behaviors. To solve this, we propose a fully automated time-series prediction architecture driven by a novel data-mixing methodology. At the infrastructure level, we introduce a lightweight, technology-agnostic Resource Exposer (RE) that dynamically discovers nodes and continuously collects customizable telemetry (e.g., compute, network, energy). To overcome the sparsity of these initial local samples, our framework automatically merges them with TimeTrack, our publicly available, high-resolution dataset collected at 45-second intervals. This synergizes TimeTrack's foundational, high-frequency temporal patterns with the precise calibration of the local node data. Processed through a Neural Architecture Search (NAS) engine, the system automatically generates highly accurate baseline models. Experimental results demonstrate that merging the target data with TimeTrack effectively mitigates the cold start challenge. This integration significantly improves forecasting accuracy measured in Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and accelerates convergence compared to training on the sparse local samples alone, training solely on generic datasets, or mixing the target data with standard alternative datasets, establishing a robust foundation for continuous MLOps deployment.
