Roundtable
As the industry moves towards cloud native network functions (CNFs), is there still a future for VM-based virtual network functions (VNFs)? And on this journey, are pre-integrated bundles anything other than a stop-gap solution until the market matures and more telcos become cloud native? Or will the reality be a mix of VNFs and CNFs for the foreseeable future?
