The resilience of 5G networks can be strongly challenged by central cloud virtual network function (VNF) outages, which can be cause by server and backhaul connection errors. This paper proposes a context-aware approach to migrate VNF from central cloud to local edge cloud, in order to improve the network resilience with minimized VNF migration cost.
