Cloud-native network functions (CNF)

Cloud-native network functions (CNF) are network functions designed and implemented to run inside containers. Containerization of network architecture components makes it possible to run a variety of services on the same cluster and more easily on-board already decomposed applications, while dynamically directing network traffic to correct pods.
