Automated deployment of 5g net slices based on user defined SLOs to multiple clusters controlled by EMCO.

The mission of the project is to ensure end-to-end SLOs for workloads of each tenant independent of other tenants hosted on systems built on top of a shared set of resources including 5G network, and cloud native infrastructure. 

• Management and configuration
  o  Dynamic slice orchestrator, EMCO and K8s extensions to create tenant and enforce tenant/slicing policies
  o Cloud native registration and discovery management
  o Edge Orchestration tenant isolation simplification (Ease of use)
• Service mesh enhancements for multi-tenancy
  o ISTIO/Envoy sharing across tenants, fixing the gaps such as slice/tenant specific CA, Securing CA certificate private keys, slice specific metrics, logs & traces
• RDT Controller & associated enforcement enhancements
  o Slice/tenant specific RDT enforcement
• Network isolation enhancements
  o With and Without CVL
  o Tenant/Slice specific queues, interrupts, and cores for RX/TX processing.
• Security isolation
  o Secured service mesh leveraging SGX/TDX

Workflows and tasks include:

• Dynamic slice orchestrator : accept  SLOs for slices. Deploy through emco and ensure end to end performance isolation of workloads
• EMCO to orchestrate  deployment of slices
• Asociated extensions for performance isolation of slice workloads leveraging and/or extending 

• • slice isolation operator deploying 
  • nodus 
  • multus
  • Ethernet operator
  • SRIOV operator
  • RDT operator
  • slice isolation webhook 
  • custom scheduler
  • ADQ device plugin
  • CVL features
  • CVL
•  CRs to represent needs of networking slicing in K8s and in EMCO.
