scope:
The present document studies the potential impact on the NFV architecture of providing "PaaS"-type capabilities and supporting VNFs which follow "cloud-native" design principles, in particular the utilization of container technologies. It describes the related use cases and provides recommendations on the enhancements of the NFV specifications. Management and orchestration of VNFs deployed in containers are analysed and resulting recommendations on the enhancements of the NFV architecture are provided, including impacts on the NFV templates, considering dependencies on the hosting resources.
