The presentation discusses the challenges of orchestrating private 5G networks and the role of open source in addressing these challenges. A demo is shown to illustrate the process of onboarding a 5G application using RNA Network's multi-cluster orchestration platform and an orchestrator.
- Orchestrating private 5G networks involves managing diverse components such as network services, infrastructure, edge computing applications, and network slicing
- Open source projects are increasingly used as the reference implementation for open standards and can reduce vendor lock-in
- Linux Foundation has several open source projects related to service orchestration such as MCO Edge, networking, and RNA networks
- The demo shows how to onboard a 5G application using RNA Network's multi-cluster orchestration platform and an orchestrator in a matter of minutes
- The demo illustrates the simplicity and speed of spinning up a private 5G network on commodity hardware
