What function does an NFV Orchestrator perform?

  • A It coordinates the life cycle of VNFs that jointly instantiate a network service.
  • B It manages the infrastructure.
  • C It manages the NFVI compute, storage, and network resources in the cloud data center.
  • D It is responsible for service life-cycle management, including instantiating, scaling, upgrading, downgrading, modifying, and terminating VNFs.
Explanation

An NFV Orchestrator coordinates the lifecycle of the multiple VNFs that together realize a network service, including their associations, topology, and service-level lifecycle operations. VNF-specific lifecycle management is performed by the VNF Manager, and NFVI compute, storage, and network resource management is performed by the Virtualized Infrastructure Manager.
