In a distributed cloud topology, VNFs are stitched across different cloud islands to deliver services. Each site can also have multiple instances for redundancy and scale.
Each site is a standalone island with its own instance of the Management, Resource, and Edge Pods. Multi-site designs are typically used for load distribution and for high availability in case of catastrophic site failures.
