Communications service providers, from telcos to cable operators, continue to reimagine their networks and look towards next-gen services. As the industry move towards 5G, these next-gen services will increasingly need to include cloud native network functions (CNFs) running on cloud native infrastructure such as Kubernetes and Network Service Mesh using CI/CD and automated testing. Building on previous discussions, this panel of CNF experts will discuss how the path to cloud native is forming for CSPs, including lessons learned, progress to date, and where things are headed next.
