Seamless Management of VM and Container for NFV
summary
Tacker manages VNFs and CNFs across mixed VM and container platforms using OpenStack Heat + Kubernetes drivers and management scripts (infra and management drivers) to automate instantiation, configuration, scaling and healing. Demo deploys free5GC deploy with three control-plane nodes (AMF, SMF, etc.) plus UPF and supporting services; creating the Kubernetes VNF takes about 20–25 minutes. Scale-out adds a worker VM and a new UPF on that worker, registration is reconfigured and end‑to‑end connectivity (GTP packets) succeeds.
