Overview

One of the primary advantages of a virtualized cloud infrastructure is the ability to maximize resource utilization.  In a PNF environment, resource allocation is relatively static and therefore enough capacity needs to be available for peak loads.  This leads to many inefficiencies during normal operating times.  In the software controlled environment of virtualized resources, ONAP can allocate resources to a VNF as they are needed.  Scaling is the process utilized by ONAP to change the amount of resources allocated to a VNF

Dublin Goals
