Efficient Monitoring and Management of VNF in mini datacenters

基于容器的虚拟化的最新进展正在彻底改变设计、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等编排器管理**，提供高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其快速部署和持续更新的能力，从而促进DevOps方法的发展。采用这种趋势来管理VNFs（虚拟化网络功能）是有希望的，并且有望启用NetDevOps功能。微服务编排器的通用特性使得云平台和VNFs之间具有不可知性，同时促进了可扩展性和实现的简单性。然而，特定于vnf的监控和管理功能可以显著提高编排的效率。**Kontron在网络虚拟化方面处于领先地位，并做出了良好的贡献。事实上，凭借其SYMKLOUD Kubernetes平台，Kontron已经消除了Kubernetes和Docker引擎的集成问题，以确保更快地设置任何云环境。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。在拟议的合作中，Kontron计划开发新的vnf专用监控和管理方法和工具，并将其集成到其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.
