The emerging Fifth Generation (5G) network technology brings us a new demand for low latency services. However, it may not be possible for long-distanced cloud computing servers to support users with satisfactory low latency services. For this reason, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) technology are gaining attraction since it is designed to provide low latency services to users by placing cloud computing resources to base-stations or mobile switching centers nearby users. Accordingly, it is necessary to verify the deployed containers on the MECs are reliable enough to provide low latency services empirically. For the purpose, we develop a testing tool to verify the reliability as well as network resources status of running MECs by deploying containers on the MECs in a Kubernetes environment.
