Descripción del proyecto
Sentar las bases de una orquestación 6G eficaz
Se prevé que la aparición de la tecnología de comunicaciones 6G revolucione las redes y los servicios de comunicación al mejorar la velocidad de transmisión de datos, la latencia y la fiabilidad, así como la eficiencia energética. Sin embargo, este avance y expansión requieren una orquestación fiable y segura entre sus servicios, recursos e infraestructura. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto ELASTIC, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende aprovechar numerosas tecnologías innovadoras, como la función como servicio, WebAssembly y el internet de las cosas, para desarrollar soluciones que permitan el despliegue sin servidor de servicios y funciones. Además, el equipo del proyecto priorizará la aplicación e investigación de medidas de seguridad eficaces, junto con la incorporación de funciones de escalado dinámico y optimización. Desarrollará una infraestructura eficiente y un marco de código abierto.
Objetivo
The next generation of wireless communication networks, 6G, is set to revolutionize the scope and potential of networked services by offering ultra-high data rates, ultra-low latency, ultra-reliability, and energy efficiency. However, to fully realize the benefits of 6G, it is crucial to ensure efficient and effective orchestration of its broad range of services and resources.
ELASTIC proposes a novel approach to 6G service orchestration that utilizes cutting-edge technologies, including WebAssembly (Wasm), Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), and edge Internet of Things (IoT) orchestration, to enable flexible and efficient serverless deployment of services and functions, dynamic scaling and optimization of service delivery, and collaborative processing of large datasets in a privacy-preserving manner.
ELASTIC's approach addresses the critical issue of security in 6G orchestration by leveraging Confidential Computing with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and by implementing security policies and service level agreements provided by verticals in edge cloud-native environments and enclaves. To support the development of this approach, ELASTIC will conduct extensive research on executable isolation, early detection of security vulnerabilities, comparative study of Kubernetes eBPF solutions for observability, and assessment of WASM security properties.
ELASTIC will also develop a comprehensive infrastructure that includes an open-source framework and interfaces for cross-platform and portable drivers, low-latency, real-time monitoring of cluster-distributed eBPF/XDP and WASM for security issues, high-speed, secure communication algorithms, distributed state synchronization algorithms, and an observability framework for WebAssembly-based serverless/FaaS workloads in Kubernetes.
The impact of the ELASTIC will be materialised within the active contribution of the project to referent open-source projects (Linux, Kubernetes, etc), communities, and standards.
