RunPHI: Enabling Mixed-criticality Containers via Partitioning Hypervisors in Industry 4.0
share
Orchestration systems are becoming a key component to automatically manage distributed computing resources in many fields with criticality requirements like Industry 4.0 (I4.0). However, they are mainly linked to OS-level virtualization, which is known to suffer from reduced isolation. In this paper, we propose RunPHI with the aim of integrating partitioning hypervisors, as a solution for assuring strong isolation, with OS-level orchestration systems. The purpose is to enable container orchestration in mixed-criticality systems with isolation requirements through partitioned containers.
