无人机（UAV）与网络虚拟化技术的有前途的组合已经积极地显示出许多优点，使得能够通过空中网络（即，由一组互连的UAV组成的网络）部署通信服务。然而，这种协同作用肯定会涉及必须认真考虑的各种挑战。在这方面，本文比较了一些最常见的虚拟基础设施管理解决方案，这些解决方案可能用于处理空中网络上的虚拟化有效载荷，确定了它们的主要优势和局限性。本文还对利用Kubernetes虚拟基础设施管理平台支持无人机网络增值服务进行了初步探索，展示了其作为合适平台的潜力。
The promising combination of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with network virtualisation technologies has positively shown many advantages enabling the deployment of communication services over aerial networks, that is, networks conformed by a set of interconnected UAVs. However, this synergy may certainly involve diverse challenges that must be carefully considered. In this respect, this paper compares some of the most common virtual infrastructure management solutions that could potentially be used to deal with virtualised payloads over aerial networks, identifying their main strength and limitations. The paper also presents a preliminary exploration on the utilisation of the Kubernetes virtual infrastructure management platform to support value-added services over UAV networks, showing off its potential as a suitable platform to this purpose.
