Hi Yuanhong Deng - can you please explain how there are committers from 5 companies but the last two releases only had contributions from 4 companies? Also, any information about deployment/use of VFC at operators or others? Thanks!
Yuanhong Deng
Thank you for your question. I have contacted with the committer who didn't contibute to the last two releases and he hopes to stay as committer and may contribute to the future version. So I keep him in the committer list.
VFC is used for testing and certification of Tosca VNF for LFN OVP, and China Mobile custom orchestrator is developed based on VF-C as well.
