PHYSICS-D7.1-Web presence

Elina Vasiliki — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:49:48 +0000

PHYSICS empowers European CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) to exploit the most modern, scalable cost- effective cloud model (i.e., Function as a Service (FaaS)), operated across multiple service & hardware types, provider locations, edge and multi-cloud resources. To this end, it applies a unified continuum approach, including functional & operational management across sites and service stacks, performance through the relativity of space (location of execution) & time (of execution), enhanced by the semantics of application components and services. In order to successfully disseminate and make available PHYSICS’s results, dissemination activities and communication of results during the whole project implementation are important to be presented to the public. Thus, dissemination and communication activities will take place during the three (3)-years duration of the project.

D6.1 – PROTOTYPE OF THE INTEGRATED PHYSICS SOLUTION FRAMEWORK AND RAMP V1

Elina Vasiliki — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:46:38 +0000

Within the scope of PHYSICS Work Package 6 (Use Cases Adaptation, Experimentation, Evaluation),
this document describes the results of Task T6.1 (Solution Services Integration and Reusable
Artefacts Marketplace Platform (RAMP) Creation) achieved during the first phase of the project, and
provides the first version (D6.1) of this deliverable (out of the two iterations foreseen in the whole
work plan for WP6).
With respect to the general WP6 objectives, the deliverable mainly focuses on two of them, i.e.:
➢ To integrate the various technical artefacts of the technical Work Packages (WP3-4-5) to the
3 logical bundles, enabling their use as one vertical solution or separate per case bundle
➢ To provide the finally available demonstrator executions demonstrating the effectiveness of
the approach as well as the operational version of the RAMP marketplace, to be used in WP7
activities

The achieved results provide key contributions for the fulfilment of the 2nd major WP6 milestone
(MS5 – PHYSICS 1st integrated platform release – foreseen for M15 of the project) and provide the
first release of the proposed solution.
The document is the companion textual specification of the major result of the deliverable and the
task: the first version of the prototype of the integrated PHYSICS solution framework and RAMP,
which have been deployed into the PHYSICS blueprint reference target infrastructure. The document
and the integrated PHYSICS solution framework and RAMP setup constitute the overall deliverable
and task output.

D5.1 – EXTENDED INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES WITH ADAPTABLE ALGORITHMS SCIENTIFIC REPORT AND PROTOTYPE DESCRIPTION V1

Elina Vasiliki — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:33:29 +0000

The goal of this deliverable is the description of the PHYSICS prototype components for the Extended Infrastructure Services with Adaptable Algorithms. This is the first version of this document and it covers the main prototype components description and their interactions and API. In addition it includes some scientific experimentation outcomes as well as the next steps. This document will be a live document that will be enriched as the integration of the prototype components progresses until the last version of it. The different components are developed as part of the work package WP5. The Extended Infrastructure Services with Adaptable Algorithms correspond with the infrastructure level and have Kubernetes (OpenShift [15]) as it’s centerpiece. It extends Kubernetes’ provided functionality with extra APIs and with other components on top. The interactions between components, as well as with the infrastructure has been defined following the current upstream trends and best practices: using WebHooks, Custom Resource Definitions, Operators and running containerized on top of the infrastructure itself. The infrastructure layer is divided into 4 main building blocks: a) the semantic model, b) the adaptable scheduling algorithms, c) the resource management controllers and interfaces, and d) the optimized co- allocation strategies. For each one of them, its design specification is described in this document, together with the main implementation and integration (API) details, experimentation outcomes and next steps.

D3.1 – FUNCTIONAL AND SEMANTIC CONTINUUM SERVICES DESIGN FRAMEWORK SCI. REPORT AND PROTOTYPE DESCRIPTION

Elina Vasiliki — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:24:27 +0000

The aim of this deliverable is to present the PHYSICS Design and Development Environment, the entry point to the PHYSICS platform that aims to overcome existing limitations of FaaS platforms, especially in relation to application creation in a functional programming style. The PHYSICS Design environment is based on the popular Node-RED function and workflow editor, coupled with an internally developed backend system to adapt the described application to the FaaS platform. It offers an extensive list of features such as the ability to use built-in and extended Node-RED packaged nodes from external repositories, packaging all the necessary artefacts aiming at the creation of the deployable function artefact to the FaaS platform. Diverse execution modes are implemented, including the description to a native Openwhisk sequence, utilizing the native Openwhisk abilities for workflow description and according runtimes. However, given that the latter are rather limiting, forcing to use only simple chains of functions, another runtime has been added, based on the Node-RED runtime, which means that the developer can create any Node-RED flow to be deployed as a function. This can be used as the core of the development logic or it can be used to orchestrate functions that have been deployed on the target platform. In this manner, the abundance of existing logic in Node-RED can be reused by the developer in a user-friendly manner. Three different runtimes and three different execution modes have been developed in order to give developers the option as to how they want to develop and deploy their application, as well as two ways of including annotations (semantic nodes and in-code annotations). A relevant annotations list has been compiled, following interaction with the affected patterns (applications, technical components and infrastructure).
