Ikukantai - 行く艦隊 - The Iku Fleet

ikukantai is a Serverless Computing platform designed for Distributed Computational Infrastructure Systems. It is developed based on Knative Serving, a leading open-source framework for Serverless Computing. ikukantai aims to be a platform that supports research and integration of algorithms related to Load Balancing, Container Scheduling, and Priority Queuing in the renowned Kubernetes container virtualization environment. ikukantai offers an easy system programming experience for scientists with limited resources to deploy practical testbeds, facilitating scientific research.

ikukantai was accepted at the IEEE CloudNet International Scientific Conference in November 2024 in Brazil, through the paper: FaaSt: A Latency-aware Serverless Scheme for Edge–Cloud Environments. FaaSt served as the proof-of-concept (PoC) version of ikukantai for the scientific publication, and ikukantai is the official name for this project.

The permission of operational, exploitation and deployment for the ikukantai Fleet, encompassing all rights related to its distribution and usage in publications are exclusively held and managed by Bonavadeur Tokyo.
