Abstract

This paper explains how to handle automation of Network Function Virtualization. There is an increase of popularity of moving out from legacy hardware networking devices to virtual network appliances. Vendor’s goal is to virtualize their physical products so these products can be used in cloud environments. There are also community projects like OPNFV. In our work we propose to way how to automatically orchestrate these Network Function Virtualization devices.
