The presentation discusses the challenges of deploying and operating network functions in a cloud-native environment and the approach taken by the organization to address these challenges.
- The organization's main business is developing network functions, which are increasingly being deployed in a cloud-native environment using Kubernetes.
- These workloads have interdependencies and complexities that need to be addressed.
- The organization is transitioning from a hardware Black Box system to a cloud-native environment, which requires a different approach to deployment and orchestration.
- The organization's approach is intent-driven, scalable, distributed, and uniform, with a focus on collaboration and validation upfront.
- The organization uses Kubernetes heavily and standardizes its automation system on the Kubernetes Resource Model (KRM).
- The organization aims to build reusable components that are applicable to multiple use cases.
