The emergence of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) enables mobile users to easily access services deployed on edge servers with low latency. However, there are various challenges in MEC, especially service deployment issues. The number and resources of edge servers are usually limited and only a limited number of services can be deployed on the edge servers; in addition, the mobility of users changes the popularities of different services in different regions. In this context, deploying suitable services for dynamic service requests becomes a critical problem. To address this problem, by deploying appropriate services by awareness of the dynamic user requirements to minimize interaction delay, the service deployment problem was formulated as a global optimization problem, and a cluster-based resource aggregation algorithm was proposed, which initially deployed suitable services under the resource constraints such as computing and bandwidth. Moreover, considering the influence of dynamic user requests on service popularity and edge server load, a dynamic adjustment algorithm was developed to update the existing services to ensure that the Quality of Service (QoS) always met user expectations. The performance of this deployment strategy was verified through a series of simulation experiments. Simulation results show that compared with the existing benchmark algorithms, the proposed strategy can reduce service interaction delay and achieve a more stable load balance.
