Optimization techniques for auto lifecycle management of vnf in cloud native nfv environments

Abstract

newline Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a critical enabling newlinetechnology that brings up automated service management of the network and newlineits corresponding Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) using the European newlineTelecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) based Management and newlineOrchestration (MANO) framework. During NFV deployment for Fifth newlineGeneration (5G) infrastructure, the VNF Manager (VNFM) component newlineplacement in a large-scale distributive environment is a challenging task. The newlineperformance degradation and increase in Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and newlineOperational Expenditure (OpEx) examines the placement problem. newline
