Description: VNF resource management refers to the process of monitoring and managing the computational, storage, and network resources used by virtualized network functions running in virtualized environments. This approach is fundamental in the context of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and other cloud computing frameworks, where network functions such as firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems are implemented as software rather than dedicated hardware. Efficient management of these resources allows for performance optimization, availability assurance, and scalability facilitation of network applications. Additionally, it involves dynamic resource allocation, monitoring the state of VNFs, and automating tasks to respond to changes in demand or operational environment. VNF resource management is essential for telecommunications operators and cloud service providers, as it enables them to offer more flexible and adaptable services, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency.
