CloudNFV features a ready-to-use telecom model, which plugs into the OpenShift ecosystem adding end-to-end automation and “zero-touch” network and service management. CloudNFV is a RHEL 8 Certified platform that integrates with OpenShift, Ansible, Prometheus, Tekton, Argo, Operators, etc. In addition to intelligent orchestration, CloudNFV can automate the deployment and configuration of the OpenShift stack, along with Network Infrastructure (5G Core, Open-RAN, etc.) on bare-metal. The integrated OpenShift & CloudNFV solution is a game-changer for Telco hybrid-Cloud and 5G/Edge deployments.
- Streamlined Onboarding
- CloudNFV supports rapid onboarding of CNFs, VNFs and PNFs, as well as their dependencies (controllers, tools, libraries) and other participating solution elements (3rd party SD-WAN & security apps, monitors/probes, orchestrators & workflow engines, Cloud/host APIs, etc.) using an interactive API or dynamic, wizard-like UI, which auto-fills properties and generates interfaces, while enforcing validation rules.
- Catalog with DevSecOps support
- CloudNFV features a catalog with 100+ already modeled Network Functions, Cloud Hosts, Cloud Services, Cloud-native tools, databases, 3rd-party orchestrators & controllers, etc. The catalog supports a configurable DevSecOps workflow automation for registering new objects in the Catalog. The catalog of declaratively modeled, immutable objects supports CI/CD for lifecycle management.
- Declarative Composition
- CloudNFV supports the no-code declarative composition of intent-based network services that are infrastructure-independent and protocol-agnostic. The design environment accelerates service delivery by allowing designers to focus on service logic and chaining chaining policies, rather than implementation details. On instantiation, the CloudNFV run-time handles the implementation details, mediates relationships between participating service elements and assures the end-to-end service per declared SLAs.
- Intelligent Orchestration and Closed-Loop Automation
- CloudNFV implements middleware patterns as a set of event-driven Serverless Functions, which are dynamically configured and coordinated to fulfill any platform service. CloudNFV’s comprehensive set of capabilities eliminate the time, cost and complexity of deploying and maintaining a middleware stack. CloudNFV is a NextGen OSS that provides a holistic and horizontally architected platform architecture for advanced Telco virtualization and automation.
