--- res: bibo_abstract: - Recent studies show the increasing popularity of distributed cloud applications, which are composed of multiple microservices. Besides their known benefits, microservice architecture also enables to mix and match cloud applications and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) services (service chains), which are composed of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). Provisioning complex services containing VNFs and microservices in a combined NFV/cloud platform can enhance service quality and optimise cost. Such a platform can be based on the multi-cloud concept. However, current multi-cloud solutions do not support NFV requirements, making them inadequate to support complex services. In this paper, we investigate these challenges and propose a solution for jointly managing and orchestrating microservices and virtual network functions.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Hadi foaf_name: Razzaghi Kouchaksaraei, Hadi foaf_surname: Razzaghi Kouchaksaraei foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=60845 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Holger foaf_name: Karl, Holger foaf_surname: Karl foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=126 dct_date: 2018^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/978-1-61208-607-1 dct_language: eng dct_title: Joint Orchestration of Cloud-Based Microservices and Virtual Network Functions@ ...
