Efficient Monitoring and Management of VNF in mini datacenters

基于容器的虚拟化的最新进展正在极大地改变设计、部署**和维护应用程序的方式。事实上，今天的应用程序通常被组织为微服务，**由Kubernetes这样的协调者管理**，提供高度可伸缩性和灵活的管理。采用这种虚拟化**和管理技术可以利用DevOps的快速部署和**持续更新功能，从而推动DevOps方法的发展。采用这种趋势来管理VNF(虚拟网络**功能)是很有希望的，也有望实现NetDevOps功能。微服务**协调器的通用性质支持云平台和VNF之间的不可知性，同时促进**实施的可扩展性和简单性。然而，VNF特定的监控和管理功能可以显著**提高协调效率。**Kontron在网络虚拟化计划方面处于领先地位，并做出了很好的贡献。事实上，凭借其SYMKLOUD**Kubernetes平台，Kontron已经消除了Kubernetes和Docker引擎的集成难题，以**确保更快地建立任何云环境。此外，Kontron确保其SYMKLOUD Kubernetes**平台复制Canonical所做的工作，使Kubernetes既安全，又易于部署、操作**和升级。在拟议的合作期间，Kontron计划开发新的VNF专用**监控和管理方法和工具，并将它们整合到其SYMKLOUD Kubernetes平台。

The recent advance in container-based virtualization is drastically changing the way of designing, deploying**and maintaining applications. In fact, today's applications are commonly organized as micro-services managed**by orchestrators like Kubernetes offering high scalability and flexible management. Adopting this virtualization**and management technology is boosting DevOps approaches taking advantage of its fast deployment and**continuous update capabilities. Adopting this tendency for the management of VNFs (Virtualized Network**Functions) is promising and expected to enable NetDevOps capabilities. The generic nature of microservices**orchestrators enable agnosticity over cloud platforms and VNFs while facilitating scalability and simplicity of**implementation. However, VNF-specific monitoring and management functionalities could significantly**improve orchestration effectiveness.**Kontron is leading and well contributing in network virtualization initiatives. In fact, with its SYMKLOUD**Kubernetes Platform, Kontron has eliminated the integration headaches of Kubernetes and Docker engines to**ensure a faster set up of any cloud environment. Moreover, Kontron ensures that its SYMKLOUD Kubernetes**Platform replicates the work done by Canonical to make Kubernetes as secure as it is easy to deploy, operate**and upgrade. During, the proposed collaboration, Kontron is planning to develop novel VNF-specific**monitoring and management methods and tools and integrate them to its SYMKLOUD Kubernetes Platform.
