summary
Private-cloud CNFs handle real traffic at scale: combined deployments show ~21 million subscribers, ~33 million IP sessions and 60k+ API calls while a single node once carried ~1.5 million subscribers generating ~1 million packets per second. Implementations use Kubernetes with SR‑IOV/DPDK for packet performance, VictoriaMetrics and Grafana for telemetry, and simulators for load tests. Rolling upgrades and pod failover prove resilient — troubleshooting time drops from months to days — while CI/CD, upgrade fatigue and process lock‑in remain the biggest blockers. 1 million pps VictoriaMetrics rolling upgrades
