This blog explains where cloud-native approach in NFV been this year and where it’s headed.
Evolvement of Kubernetes to Manage Diverse IT Workloads
This article talks about how Kubernetes has emerged from container orchestration platform to manage complex workloads in AI and Machine Learning Stacks, Managing containers in NFV architecture and handling hardware GPU resources.
DPDK in 3 Minutes or Less…
DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) came along. It said, “from today on wards there is going to be just one agency, itself, following just one rule book, a dpdk library”, irrespective of what the requestor’s end goal is. All packets, needing network functionality processing (again, it means routing, switching, firewall allow/deny etc),
Performance Benchmarking of OpenStack-based VIM and VNFs for NFV Environments
This post focuses on a case study of evaluation of NFV architecture components i.e. VNFs (virtual network functions) and VIM (virtual infrastructure manager) to deliver best-in-class performance to end users and offer a valid approach to active testing.
DevOps in NFV: Assuring Health of Service Chains and 5G Network Slices
