14 The Right Architecture for Virtualized Edge Early SDN technologies based on HW virtualization in OPNFV OpenStack management of KVM-based VMs for VNFs Higher overhead (memory, performance, complexity) approach Consensus building that the Virtualized Edge favors a lighter weight solution Many are now looking to leverage lighter weight OS virtualization Docker, CoreOS Kubernetes, Mesosphere, Weaveworks etc Microservices OpenStack, SDN Controllers may still play a higher level role in these configurations ARM Ecosystem is now following the OpenRetriever project for Container-based support And building PoCs to demonstrate the strengths of microservices approach ARM 2017

15 Container PoC project: Why Containerized VNF? Container Container Container Orchestration & Automation Compared to NFV+VM approach, we anticipated: Lightweight footprint Efficient resource consumption High density deployment Fast deployment ARM 2017
