The growth of cloud native and its impact on telcos

Panel Discussion

Has cloud native now entered the mainstream within telcos? Are we now seeing significant uptake in cloud-native infra and CNF workloads, and are internal software teams now reorganised around cloud-native principles? This panel explores the growth of cloud-native technologies and addresses key challenges, such as expertise gaps, operational complexities and vendor software maturity, while highlighting success stories in cloud-native telco deployments. We also look to the future to see how developments within the cloud-native, open-source community may impact telcos in the coming years?
