Containerised applications and CNF workloads

Francisco-Javier Ramón Salguero, Multicloud Tools Manager, Telefónica. Chair of ETSI Open-Source MANO (OSM)

Are we now seeing a tipping point in the migration from virtual network functions (VNFs) to cloud-native functions (CNFs) within the telecoms industry? What are the implications of this shift and which key telco use cases are now fully supported by CNFs? In this deep dive, we explore the strategic advantages and operational efficiencies that Kubernetes brings to the table when deploying CNFs; the critical role of optimisation software for diverse multi-cloud environments; and the need to align with industry standards to ensure seamless interoperability and compliance.
