Distributed cloud: Edge Computing and 5G
Distributed, small data centers (NFV powered), placed close to the network edge.
Mandatory for 5G, to enable low latency services (Operator and 3rd-party Edge Applications).
Allowing processing offloading from UEs.
Take benefit of NFV for lifecycle management (LCM) of VNF:
5G RAN (CU/DU)
5G use plane VNF (UPF)
Edge Applications
5G provides native support for (Multi-access) Edge Computing (MEC).
