Key Requirements
To support latency-sensitive, high-bandwidth network functions and applications driven by 5G, Edge Computing, VOLTE use cases some of the key requirements from a Cloud Infrastructure perspective are
1) A single Cloud Region needs to be able to manage multiple distributed physical DCs
2) Standardized representation of Multi-vendor Cloud Object Hierarchy for aggregate objects (Cloud Region, Tenants, DCI Overlay etc.) and atomic objects (VMs, Containers etc.) for resource allocation and metrics such as resource utilization
3) Standardized representation of Multi-vendor Cloud Events (E.g. VM Power On/Off), Alerts (E.g. Cloud Region CPU Usage exceeds threshold) and Faults (E.g. Loss of Redundancy from a Host NIC perspective) including Policies
4) Inter-Cloud Workload Placement/Scheduling/Change Management decisions to leverage metrics, especially latency and bandwidth, at an aggregate object level
