Deliverable 3.2: Cloud continuum, service mesh and resource orchestration

This document represents the final software outcomes and architectural implementations of Task 3.1, reporting on the design, execution, and deployment of the Edge-Cloud continuum layer as well as the DataOps module for the SAFE-6G framework. The involved components compose the overall framework that manages distributed computing resources and orchestrates the lifecycle of  microservices across heterogeneous domains, also monitoring their status and performance. At the core of the continuum implementation is a Meta-Operating System based on ECLIPSE aeriOS. This system offers a programmable environment designed to integrate seamlessly with standard Cloud Native technologies. It successfully enables the federation of delocalized computing domains  and provides continuous observability, identity management, and distributed service orchestration using Kubernetes as its foundation. The Meta-OS relies on critical components including a FIWARE  Orion-LD Context Broker for sharing context data without replication, and an enhanced dual-level  orchestration engine to automate the deployment, upgrade, and removal of services packaged as  Helm charts or containers. The flexibility of its data model has allowed the extension of its default  definition with SAFE-6G specific entities and attributes. Also, the exposure capabilities of the 
continuum have been secured by an API Gateway built on KrakenD, fully integrated with OpenCAPIF  Release 3 to facilitate automated API discoverability, access management, and interaction with the broader SAFE-6G Trust Functions.
