Abstract
A network function virtualization (NFV) platform can support hybrid and elastic scaling and recovery services. In one example, a system can deploy a cloud virtual network function manager (VNFM) and one or more cloud virtual network functions (VNFs) on a cloud. The system can monitor, via the cloud VNFM, a local VNFM on a local network, the cloud VNFM, and/or the one or more cloud VNFs. Based on the monitoring, the system can determine, via the cloud VNFM, a respective status of the local VNFM, the cloud VNFM, and/or the one or more cloud VNFs. Based on the respective status of the local VNFM, the cloud VNFM, and/or the one or more cloud VNFs, the system can then scale, via the cloud VNFM, the local VNFM, the cloud VNFM, and/or the one or more cloud VNFs.
