Description du projet
Le cloud computing et les déploiements multi-cloud
L’informatique en nuage (cloud computing) offre de nombreuses possibilités pour stocker, sécuriser et travailler sur nos données. Mais les applications et les composants actuels peuvent être organisés et remodelés en amont des déploiements attendus des nouvelles technologies pour de meilleurs effets. Le projet MORPHEMIC, financé par l’UE, adaptera et optimisera le cloud computing selon deux axes: avec l’idée d’une architecture polymorphe, et une adaptation proactive. Il optimisera les applications fonctionnant sous diverses configurations techniques afin d’accroître leur utilité dans des environnements spécifiques. Le projet assurera également un déploiement hétérogène grâce à une plateforme de déploiement MORPHEMIC. Son environnement offrira une combinaison de niveaux de cloud, de centres de données, de edge clouds et de stations de base 5G pour fournir une solution complète dont l’objectif sera de faciliter l’inclusion de nouvelles technologies et de nouveaux services.
Objectif
MORPHEMIC proposes a unique way of adapting and optimizing Cloud computing applications by introducing the novel concepts of polymorph architecture and proactive adaptation. The former is when a component can run in different technical forms, i.e. in a Virtual Machine (VM), in a container, as a big data job, or as serverless components, etc. The technical form of deployment is chosen during the optimization process to fulfil the user’s requirements and needs. The quality of the deployment is measured by a user defined and application specific utility. Depending on the application’s requirements and its current workload, its components could be deployed in various forms in different environments to maximize the utility of the application deployment and the satisfaction of the user. Proactive adaptation is not only based on the current execution context and conditions but aims to forecast future resource needs and possible deployment configurations. This ensures that adaptation can be done effectively and seamlessly for the users of the application. The MORPHEMIC deployment platform will therefore be very beneficial for heterogeneous deployment in distributed environments combining various Cloud levels including Cloud data centres, edge Clouds, 5G base stations, and fog devices. Advanced forecasting methods, including the ES-Hybrid method recently winning the M4 forecasting competition, will be used to achieve the most accurate predictions. The outcome of the project will be implemented in the form of the complete solution, starting from modelling, through profiling, optimization, runtime reconfiguration and monitoring. Then the MORPHEMIC implementation will be integrated as a pre-processor for the existing MELODIC platform extending its deployment and adaptation capabilities beyond the multi-cloud and cross-cloud to the edge, 5G, and fog. This approach allows for a path to early demonstrations and commercial exploitation of the project results.
