Description du projet
Poser les bases d’une orchestration efficace de la 6G
L’émergence de la technologie de communication 6G devrait révolutionner les réseaux et services de communication en améliorant les débits de données, la latence et la fiabilité, tout en accroissant l’efficacité énergétique. Ces progrès et cette expansion exigent toutefois une orchestration fiable et sécurisée entre ses services, ses ressources et son infrastructure. Dans ce contexte, le projet ELASTIC, financé par l’UE, entend s’appuyer sur de nombreuses technologies innovantes, notamment la fonction en tant que service, le WebAssembly et l’internet des objets, pour développer des solutions permettant le déploiement sans serveur de services et de fonctions. Le projet privilégiera le déploiement et la recherche de mesures de sécurité efficaces, ainsi que l’intégration de fonctions de mise à l’échelle et d’optimisation dynamiques. Il développera une infrastructure performante et un cadre à code source ouvert.
Objectif
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.
