An Open Source Telco Cloud Stack to Accelerate Cloud Native Operator Model Adoption

Explore a conference talk on an open-source Telco Cloud stack project designed to accelerate the adoption of cloud-native operator models in the telecommunications industry. Learn about the project's goals to support 5G Cloud-native Network Functions (CNFs) for Open RAN and 5G Core. Discover how this initiative fosters cloud-native infrastructure for telco purposes and its integration with existing ecosystems like LF ANUKET and the O-RAN Alliance. Understand the rationale behind choosing an open-source approach and the communities the development team contributes to. Witness a demo showcasing a distributed Cloud Native federated lab across different operators with multiple CNFs, including ANUKET conformance testing and CNCF CNF Test suite demonstrations. Gain insights into bare metal open-source solutions like Metal3 and Ironic, as well as the Rancher stack implementation in this innovative telco cloud infrastructure.
