SMF Deployment
The 5G Mobility NFs deployment supports the following modes:
-
Standalone mode: In this mode, each NF together with the required microservices is deployed in a separate name space in Kubernetes.
-
Converged mode: In this mode, several NFs are deployed together in a single name space and micro-service common to NFs render the service to all the deployed NFs.
The following figure illustrates the SMF and SAEGW service that is deployed in the converged mode.
