C2: General Purpose Cloud Platform with NFV Life-Cycle Management

The paper presents C2 Platform that covers both the telecommunication and enterprise cloud cases. The C2 architecture incorporates as the network service orchestration as service life-cycle management. C2 implementation follows ETSI NFV MANO standard and uses TOSCA to describe network functions. The paper provides the experiment's methodology and experimental measurements of the platform efficiency, function scaling and healing overheads.
