AI-Powered Orchestration-as-a-Service for 6G Networks: The 6G-CLOUD View

As 6G networks grow more complex, managing resources and orchestrating services across diverse, dynamic, and energy-efficient environments becomes challenging. This paper presents a programmable Orchestration-as-a-Service (OaaS) Framework from the 6G-Cloud project that enables dynamic, scalable, and intelligent orchestration. The framework separates service orchestration from resource orchestration, supports network service–agnostic management, and integrates AI-driven optimization, digital twins (DT), and Cloud Continuum technologies. Finally, we demostrate the functionality and feasibility of the proposed architecture through an early-stage implementation, where an AI-powered use case for dynamic resource orchestration is validated, showing significant improvements in power efficiency and proactive resource scaling compared to baseline methods.
