Service providers are building out their 𝟓𝐆 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬, which call for a Service-based Architecture. 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝-𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 offer critical benefits, and 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝-𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐂𝐍𝐅𝐬) are becoming the main delivery mechanism for the network services that comprise this architecture.
A Cloud-Native Application uses a collection of tools that manage and simplify the Orchestration of services that make up the application. 𝐂𝐍𝐅𝐬 bring critical capabilities to the network. They’re Scalable, Automated, Resilient, Manageable, and Observable. Cloud-Native applications support dynamic elasticity and scale, occupy a smaller footprint with fast restart, and use continuous deployment and automation principles. 𝐂𝐍𝐅 Solutions are the perfect form factor for those looking to move workloads to a Cloud-Native Architecture and adopting "𝐌𝐄𝐂 (𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞)" Solutions.
F5 𝐁𝐈𝐆-𝐈𝐏 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝-𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐂𝐍𝐅𝐬) share many characteristics with our 𝐅𝟓 𝐁𝐈𝐆-𝐈𝐏 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐕𝐄) and hardware platforms. A wide range of CNFs will be rolled out over time, beginning with the below CNFs:
- 𝐂𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐓 (Address Translation, IPv4/IPv6 Migration)
- 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥 (IPS, Firewall, DDoS Protection)
- 𝐃𝐍𝐒 (DNS Cache)
- 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐫 (Traffic Classification, TCP Optimization, Subscriber Awareness)
