This paper presents a creative lightweight solution to package any existing VNF (Virtualized Network Function) to support ETSI NFV (Network Function Virtualization) architecture quickly and easily. The preconditions of existing VNF are quite straightforward and simple, such as running on Virtual Machine (VM) and Operating System (OS) supporting Secure Shell (SSH) commands. With our solution, the new VNF (Virtualized Network Function) will have the additional functions required to integrate with ETSI NFV architecture, without redesigning the existing Element Manager. This will include VNF Descriptor, lifecycle management benefits such as deploy within minutes, scale out/in on demand, etc.
