The ICOS Dynamic Policy Manager

The ICOS System aims at being the next generation meta-operating system for the Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum, offering a complete platform for orchestrating the user applications’ lifecycle in a secure, smart and efficient way. At the core of the ICOS’ orchestration capabilities there are i) a powerful observability framework that efficiently reports the status and events for the infrastructure and the applications (e.g. topology, resource characteristics and usage, security assessments, power consumption), ii) a policy-based engine that allow to compare the current status of the system with the desidered policies for a given component of the infrastructure and/or applications and iii) a matchmaking mechanisms to find an orchestration solution that satisfy all the requirements.
