Re: [Nfvrg] Call for adoption of draft-natarajan-nfvrg-containers-for-nfv

Hi,

I was wondering if the lightweight NFV performance comparison should also
be extended
to the rest of the stack. For example openstack + opnfv could be very
heavyweight while
other management platforms for containers (if they exists) could be
executed on low
power platforms (which could make sense in some deployments).
