AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing NFV systems and container orchestration platforms lack dedicated mechanisms and policies for effectively supporting the partial termination of Container Network Functions (CNFs), leading to suboptimal resource utilization, service disruptions, and inefficient network operations.

Method used

A method and system for partially terminating CNFs, which involves transmitting a CNF partial termination request to an orchestrator adaptor, receiving a response on completion, and updating the termination status in a Release Management Repository (RMR), while also managing inventory databases for resource management.

Benefits of technology

Enables controlled, efficient, and seamless partial termination of CNFs, minimizing disruptions and optimizing resource utilization, thereby enhancing network operations and resource management.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system (120) and a method (600) for partially terminating a Container Network Function (CNF) The system (120) includes a transmitting unit (225) configured to transmit by the CNFLM (405), a CNF partial termination request to an orchestrator adaptor (410). The system (120) includes a receiving unit (230) is configured to receive by the CNFLM (405), a response from the orchestrator adaptor (410) pertaining to completion of the CNF partial termination. The system (120) further includes the transmitting unit (225) configured to transmit, by the CNFLM (405), to a Physical Virtual Inventory Manager (PVIM) (505), an inventory management request to manage an inventory database pertaining to one or more resources in response to completion of the CNF partial termination. The system (120) further includes an updating unit (235) configured to update, by the CNFLM (405), the CNF partial termination status at a Release Management Repository (RMR) (515).
