BL Internship - Study of orchestration in compute continuum prototype

Descrizione del lavoro:

About (COMPANY NAME)
(COMPANY NAME) is committed to innovation and technology leadership across mobile, fixed and cloud networks. Your career here will have a positive impact on people's lives and will help us build the capabilities needed for a more productive, sustainable, and inclusive world.
We challenge ourselves to create an inclusive way of working where we are open to new ideas, empowered to take risks and fearless to bring our authentic selves to work.
The research team you'll be part of is inside (COMPANY NAME) Bell Labs.
(COMPANY NAME) Bell Labs is the world-renowned research arm of (COMPANY NAME), having invented many of the foundational technologies that underpin information and communications networks and digital devices and systems. This research has produced eleven Nobel Prizes, five Turing Awards and numerous other awards.
The internship will take place within the Network Computing department (11 researchers) in (COMPANY NAME) Bell Labs France, located in (COMPANY NAME) Paris-Saclay premises in Massy (20 km south from Paris). This research department studies network and compute control and automation all along the device-edge-cloud continuum.
In particular, the team investigates a compute continuum orchestration solution (from central clouds to extreme edge). This solution expands on our previous prototype (see reference below), which allows for discovery (and opportunistic usage) of neighboring resources belonging to third parties.

Work conditions
A 6-months long internship which take place in (COMPANY NAME) Bell Labs France, located in (COMPANY NAME) Paris-Saclay premises in Massy (20 km south from Paris). The intra Paris-area public transportation allowance is 100% funded.
(COMPANY NAME) offers flexible and hybrid working schemes, continuous learning opportunities. (COMPANY NAME) is committed to inclusion and is an equal opportunity employer (multiple recognitions received in this field).

You'll specifically contribute to the prototyping of the compute continuum orchestration solution (see ref).
The first work axis concerns collecting electrical consumption data all along the device-edge-cloud continuum in order to feed the orchestration algorithm helping energy efficient optimization goals. You will specifically introduce monitoring platforms for Kubernetes (e.g. Kepler, Promotheus) and similar features on-device. You will also participate in the design and implementation of the data collection mechanism.
The second axis of work concerns the emulation of the core network between the different computing area (edges and central clouds). For this part, multiple solutions can be considered (e.g. mininet, managed switches, GNS3….).
The intern will participate in this research study together with 4 permanent researchers. The internship work may lead to the production of publications and patents, it may be followed-up with a CIFRE PhD thesis
