Evolving from VNFs to CNFs VNFs Architecture VNFs/PNFs CNF Architecture OSS/BSS MANO CNFs Multi-Cloud and/or Bare Metal VNFs OSS/BSS Kube. Virt/Virtlet/ Open. Stack MANO Kubernetes Bare Metal Any Cloud Notes: 1. Several variations of VNF implementation exists on multi-cloud with Standards based OSS/BSS integration through MANO frameworks like ONAP under LF Networking. Current implementations include ONAP running on K 8 s and a variety of Clouds including Openstack 2. CNF Architecture diagram is aligned to ETSI with VIM as K 8 s and options to run CNFs on K 8 s and Bare Metal as well as hybrid (brownfield) scenarios with VNF and CNF on any cloud while still utilizing the Standard de-facto implementation of OSS/BSS on MANO like ONAP. 1 © 2019 Cloud Native Computing Foundation
