The VNF appliance, introduced in Apache CloudStack 4.19, has been used by several CloudStack users as an alternative to the CloudStack Virtual Router. This talk provides an overview of VNF appliances and showcases some real-world use cases. It also introduces ongoing work on the VNF provider framework, which offers much better integration with VNF appliances. Topics includes technical details, the built-in VNF provider, and guidance on how to develop custom VNF providers.
