The FACIS landing page act as an entry-point for all open-source components, specification, and implementation developed under FACIS project. The goal is to guide the developers and contributors with the foundational blueprints to build a secure, interoperable and scalable multi-provider cloud-edge continuum.
FACIS combines innovative technologies such as Federation Architecture Patterns (FAPs), machine-readable Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and low-code orchestration engines. These along with strong governance frameworks, improves scalability, security, and compliance with regulations, while enabling organizations to retain control of their data.
FACIS is an open-source and collaborative project that promotes transparency, inclusiveness, and innovation across the European digital ecosystem.
Code-related deliverables are published via GitHub, while non-code results- such as frameworks, rulebooks and other supporting materials are and will be made available on the FACIS website : https://www.facis.eu/results/
This repository serve as the central-entry point for all the FACIS components.
The table provides a high-level view of the core components and their goals.
