The amount of buzzwords in that page is quite incredible.

I'm also unsure where it mentions that virtualization is now obsolete. NFV
solutions are moving to VM based deployments as a stop-gap and for the
future, towards micro-services built in containers.

Hello folks,

Last year, I posted to this list and asked "has virtualization become
obsolete in 5G"?

A similar opinion seems to be gaining ground

.:

"Once the darling of the telecoms industry, NFV has had a rough ride in
recent years and has even lead some industry observers to proclaim that NFV
is dead."

Cheers,

Etienne
