Envisioned 5G applications and services, such as Tactile Internet, Industry 4.0 use-cases, remote control of drone swarms, pose serious challenges to the underlying networks and cloud platforms. On the one hand, evolved cloud infrastructures provide the IT basis for future applications. On the other hand, networking is in the middle of a momentous revolution and important changes are mainly driven by Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). A diverse set of cloud and network resources, controlled by different technologies and owned by cooperating or competing providers, should be coordinated and orchestrated in a novel way in order to enable future applications and fulfill application level requirements. In this paper, we propose a novel cross domain orchestration system which provides wholesale XaaS (Anything as a Service) services over multiple administrative and technology domains. Our goal is threefold. First, we design a novel orchestration system exploiting a powerful information model and propose a versatile embedding algorithm with advanced capabilities as a key enabler. The main features of the architecture include

) efficient and multi-purpose service embedding algorithms which can be implemented based on graph models,

) support for legacy technologies. Second, we present our proof-of-concept prototype implementing the proposed system. Third, we establish a dedicated test environment spanning across multiple European sites encompassing sandbox environments from both operators and the academia in order to evaluate the operation of the system. Dedicated experiments confirm the feasibility and good scalability of the whole framework. |
