Abstract Efficient resource provisioning, allocation, and computation offloading are critical to realizing low-latency, scalable, and energy-efficient applications in cloud, fog, and edge computing. Despite its importance, integrating Software Defined Networks (SDN) for enhancing resource orchestration, task scheduling, and traffic management remains a relatively underexplored area with significant innovation potential. This paper provides a comprehensive review of existing mechanisms, categorizing resource provisioning approaches into static, dynamic, and user-centric models, while examining applications across domains such as IoT, healthcare, and autonomous systems. The survey highlights challenges such as scalability, interoperability, and security in managing dynamic and heterogeneous infrastructures. More >
