• Designed to optimise server capacity via hardware virtualization • Designed for application portability across cloud environments
• Performance and capacity overhead because of guest OS • Bare-metal performance and improved capacity
• Isolated VM workloads, well-understood security practices and tools • Process isolation, simplify security management with a common OS
• Brings hardware independence to legacy apps • Brings agility and scalability to cloud-native apps
• Better option for applications that use specific OS features • Easily integrated into CICD pipeline

A common platform for cloud-native 5G NFs
PaaS technology choices Benefits and impacts
– Container orchestration, e.g. Kubernetes – Greater adoption of open source technology within the stack
– Private repository with image management – Harmonization of application management, replacing many
aspects of EMS and VNFM with common services
– Observability services for logging, metrics, tracing
– Facilitate the deployment of multi-vendor containerized NFs
– Service mesh for monitoring and controlling traffic across multiple cloud (and edge) environments
– Cloud-native networking and storage – NF developers can focus on application logic only, relying on
PaaS services for common operations
– Common toolsets for CICD pipeline
– Switch from vertical silo stacks to horizontal platforms, with
implications on sourcing, interoperability and certification

Tests document performance of components on a particular test, in specific systems. Differences in hardware, software, or configuration will affect actual performance. For more
complete information about performance and benchmark results, visit http://www.intel.com/benchmarks .
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are
measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other
information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For
more complete information visit http://www.intel.com/benchmarks .
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX)* provides higher throughput to certain processor operations. Due to varying processor power characteristics, utilizing AVX instructions
may cause a) some parts to operate at less than the rated frequency and b) some parts with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to not achieve any or maximum turbo frequencies.
Performance varies depending on hardware, software, and system configuration and you can learn more at http://www.intel.com/go/turbo.
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include
SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not
manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel
microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets
covered by this notice.
Cost reduction scenarios described are intended as examples of how a given Intel-based product, in the specified circumstances and configurations, may affect future costs and provide
cost savings. Circumstances will vary. Intel does not guarantee any costs or cost reduction.
Intel does not control or audit third-party benchmark data or the web sites referenced in this document. You should visit the referenced web site and confirm whether referenced data are
