Summary:
|
Computing power resources are increasingly deployed in public IaaS environments to support artificial intelligence, data analytics, real-time processing, and emerging distributed services. These resources often involve heterogeneous accelerators, dynamic resource pooling, edge-cloud collaboration, and coordination across multiple administrative or trust domains. Such characteristics introduce additional complexity in resource management and operation.
However, the heterogeneity of accelerators, virtualization and partitioning mechanisms, distributed deployment, and cross-domain orchestration introduce additional security challenges. These include risks related to resource admission, capability declaration, scheduling interaction, accelerator isolation, lifecycle traceability, residual data exposure and secure decommissioning. ITU-T X.1605 provides the parent high-level security framework for public IaaS. This Supplement follows that framework and provides additional analysis of specialized security aspects introduced by computing power resources.
This Supplement aims to complement ITU-T X.1605 by providing a structured analysis of security aspects for computing power resources in public IaaS environments. It describes relevant considerations across the IaaS access layer, service layer, resource layer, and security management. It also identifies key aspects related to trusted admission, capability validation, scheduling interaction, isolation of virtualized accelerators, lifecycle traceability, residual data sanitization, and secure decommissioning.
This Supplement supports implementers and operators in applying ITU-T X.1605 to modern public IaaS environments that provide computing power resources. It contributes to improving the security, reliability, and interoperability of computing power services across cloud, edge, and distributed environments.
