scope:
The present document studies the reliability evaluation for cloud-native VNFs (as defined in ETSI GS NFV-EVE 011 [i.2]). It identifies key use cases (containerized VNF software modification, containerized VNF scaling out/in) of cloud-native VNF lifecycle management which may impact reliability. In these use cases, possible new functionalities to support the resiliency assurance of these VNF operations are discussed, using Kubernetes® as an example containerization technology. Then possible solutions are presented related to the new functionalities, together with the potential architectural options.
