Tacker - OpenStack NFV Orchestration

Tacker is an official OpenStack project building a Generic VNF Manager (VNFM) and a NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) to deploy and operate Network Services and Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on an NFV infrastructure platform like OpenStack. It is based on ETSI MANO Architectural Framework and provides a functional stack to Orchestrate Network Services end-to-end using VNFs.

Vnf Stands for Virtual Network Functions. This is the VNF Management API Service which is used to Deploy VNFs..

VNFM:
- Basic life-cycle of VNF (create/update/delete).
- Enhanced platform-aware (EPA) placement of high-performance NFV workloads.
- Health monitoring of deployed VNFs.
- Auto Healing / Auto Scaling VNFs based on Policy.
- Facilitate initial configuration of VNF.
