Great question, also interested in hearing production stories.</div>

I've deployed Virtual Acme Packet's previously - same limitations - no DSP's etc.</div>

It was a little early and we had teething issues of appliance to virtual machine type stuff.. but through the updates this improved.</div>

I've played with CUBE on CSR1000V on AWS - SIP trunks to Twilio - and it works great.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It's certainly so nice and easy to spin up.</span><br>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I've also run CSR1000V in AWS for dynamic VPN's.. which again works great.</span></div>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The DSP's are a nice fallback. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You don't need
them 99% of the time.. but when that 1% case comes up later - then it's certainly handy.</span></div>

use for Transcoders if required.</span><br>

<div dir="ltr">Anyone have some vCUBEs out in production for a while, and willing to share their feelings and/or experiences with it?

</div>
<div>Anything from deployment, to restrictions, to licensing, to upgrade processes, lessons learned, etc?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think the obvious thing is the lack of DSP/PVDM since this is a virtual machine, but what else?</div>

</div>
<div>I don't come across these in the field at all, and I don't see them being proposed or quoted these days, despite vCUBE having been around for a few years now.</div>
