A service provider is implementing an NFV MANO stack. The team needs a component that can manage the lifecycle of network services, which are composed of multiple VNFs, and coordinate the resources required by those VNFs across the NFVI. Which component should be used?

Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM)

Element Management System (EMS)

A service provider is developing a new network function and wants to ensure that it can be deployed consistently across different environments, from development to production. The function has dependencies on specific libraries and binaries. Which packaging approach is most appropriate?

Use a configuration management tool to install dependencies at runtime.

Package the function and its dependencies into a container image.

Create a VM template with the function pre-installed.

Provide a list of required packages and install them manually on each host.

A service provider is deploying a new VNF service. The NFVO is responsible for onboarding the VNF descriptor and managing the network service. The VNFM is from a third-party vendor and does not support the full set of lifecycle operations required by the service. The service requires scaling and healing. What is the most appropriate action?

Implement scaling and healing manually using the VIM's API.

Select a different VNFM that supports the required lifecycle operations.

Deploy the VNF without scaling and healing capabilities.

Use the NFVO to directly perform scaling and healing operations on the VNF, bypassing the VNFM.
