Integrating Predictive Real-Time Feedback Loops with Federated AI Models for Latency-Aware Resource Allocation in Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Environments

Overview

This research focuses on enhancing resource allocation in Kubernetes environments by integrating predictive real-time feedback loops and federated AI models. The goal is to optimize latency-sensitive workloads while maintaining efficient resource utilization across multiple Kubernetes clusters.

Research Motivation

Identified Gaps:

1. Limited Integration of Predictive Feedback Loops
   • Existing resource allocation strategies in Kubernetes rely on static or periodic approaches rather than real-time, predictive models.
2. Underutilization of Federated AI
   • While federated AI is used in edge computing, its application in Kubernetes for resource allocation is minimal.
3. Latency-Aware Resource Allocation is Underexplored
   • Existing solutions optimize either latency or resource allocation but rarely both in multi-cluster Kubernetes environments.
4. Lack of Multi-Cluster Scheduling with Real-Time Adaptation
   • Kubernetes federation supports multi-cluster management but lacks dynamic, predictive workload balancing mechanisms.
5. Insufficient Integration of Edge-Cloud Resources
   • Studies focus on either edge or cloud management but not their seamless integration for latency-critical applications.
6. Lack of Holistic Evaluation Frameworks
   • Benchmarking frameworks for predictive feedback, federated AI, and latency-aware allocation in Kubernetes are scarce.
7. Security and Privacy Challenges in Federated Learning
   • Research lacks a security-focused approach for federated AI in Kubernetes resource management.
8. Trade-Off Between Computational Overhead and Latency Optimization
   • Balancing computational efficiency with latency-sensitive Kubernetes workloads needs further exploration.

Proposed Solution

Key Contributions:

• Predictive Feedback Loops: Implement real-time monitoring with machine learning models to predict resource demands dynamically.
• Federated AI Integration: Enable clusters to collaboratively learn workload patterns while preserving data privacy.
• Latency-Aware Scheduling: Develop a Kubernetes scheduler that integrates latency metrics for efficient task placement.
• Multi-Cluster Optimization: Utilize Kubernetes federation to balance workloads between edge and cloud environments for improved performance and scalability.
