Hi Srini,

I agree with point 2 . However I want to emphaize on the fact that, this is
still an issue and SO should be evolved to support dependency management
and sequencing.
W.r.t Point 1, I will equate K8S as VNFM for CNFs. So we can generalize the
statement as, the dependency mgmt & sequencing within a VNF ( i.e between
VF Modules ) is the responsibility of VNF-M . I don't think we can bring in
Openstack / MC here within this paradigm. To me they are Infrastructure
controllers, which does what has been told for. It is the VNFM / SO which
does "orchestration" role.

BR,
Viswa
