Conclusion

In this whitepaper, we have discussed the essential role of agile and resilient cloud-native network orchestration to achieve the business and operational goals of service providers. We examined and mapped the NFV orchestration requirements and specifications as put by ETSI in the context of Kubernetes and cloud-native implementations. We classified the requirements into three categories: those that can be mapped, those that are not relevant, and those that need further research and work. We also discussed orchestration needs in various phases of implementation, and provided a way to implement agile and resilient automation and orchestration solutions using AWS container and serverless constructs. These constructs are flexible and can be easily adopted to meet CSP and ISV automation requirements.
