[VoiceOps] Virtualized SBC

[Matthew Crocker]

NFV is all about containers and micro services.   It is unix all over again but in the cloud.  Small containerized functions that do a specific task.  Spun up in the cloud and linked together by an orchestration overlay.  Personally I think it is a good thing

But if there's an orchestration layer that informs all other systems of its presence, including management and licensing, without having to configure all that, then it is NFV. Now, whether the aforementioned vendors are actually doing this, that can be debated (and I'd be curious to hear people's options on it). They may just be doing V with a long-term vision of NFV, I don't know.
