Description

Adding the support for Eclipse fog05 as VIM, to leverage the possibility of running VNFs in a Fog environment that can be packaged in differt ways other than VMs (LXD Containers, Unikernels, binary applications...)

Demo or definition of done

EU H2020 5GCity project will leverage on this for an UseCase where some VNFs need to be instantiated in a lamp post that does not have support for VMs, in the specific usecase, VNFs will be packaged as LXD containers and will be instantiated on low-end ARMv7 devices on the lamppost. Part of the connector is already written, more tests will be performed and support for PF/VF will be added.
