Cover Story: Video delivery is exploiting 5G networks to enable higher server consolidation and deployment flexibility. We present a multi-objective optimization framework for service function chain deployment in the particular context of live streaming in virtualized content delivery networks using deep reinforcement learning. Trace-driven simulations with real-world data reveal that our approach is the only one to adapt to the complexity of the particular context of live video delivery concerning state-of-the-art algorithms designed for general-case service function chain deployment. In particular, our simulation test revealed a substantial QoS/QoE performance improvement in terms of session acceptance ratio against the compared algorithms while keeping operational costs within proper bounds.
