So NFV is dead....telco guys need to do some soul searching. They spent years trying to fit things into the NFV specs but missed the point i.e. complete virtualization of the VNF. Now once again they are inspired by the IT world and talking about containers...in the IT world this idea started in 2013 (with Docker) round about the same time when ETSI published its NFV specs....sadly I too am a telco guy!
