1. A method for optimizing a performance of a software function within a content delivery network, comprising:
dynamically changing a deployment location within the content delivery network for the software function, for a set of one or more users of the content delivery network but not all users of the content delivery network, from an original location to an updated location using an instance management platform, wherein the software function executes in a container or a pod managed by the instance management platform, wherein said updated location is disposed upon a different physical computer system than said original location, and wherein the software function manages control plane functions and data plane functions of a plurality of Remote PHY Devices (RPDs).
