00a0Red Hat and Affirmed Networks address the new requirements from Telco & 00a0NFV Cloud Service Providers(CSPs) 00a0to move from monolithic software architectures towards a cloud native microservices.Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNFC) defines Cloud Native architecture as being container packaged, dynamically managed and microservices oriented Telco 3GPP standards and Virtual Network Function (VNF) vendors are driving 201ccloud native201d deployments - container microservices that are lightweight, scalable, resilient 00a0to meet the needs of 4G-LTE/5G, IoT and never-ending appetite of mobile applications.Moving NFV clouds to containers needs to address - high performance container networking, multi-tenenacy, container security, orchestration and integrationTelco clouds will need to support mixed deployments of VMs and containers on multi-site infrastructure, compute, networking, storageIn this session we will coverWhat is a Cloud Native architecture for a Telco and what are the benefits00a0of Containers and Microservices?Where CSPs and NFV standards bodies are moving to with the VNF software architectures that will drive requirements into OpenStack and OpenShift (container platform)The 00a0evolution of the CSP network from the virtualized VM based deployments to the mix of VMs, Containers in VMs and Containers on bare metal.Gaps in the Container ecosystem that need to be addressed for VNFs 2013 orchestration limitation, managed multi-tenancy, multi-interface, network security, high performance datapath, performance tuning.What VNFs positioned for containerized deployments: Red Hat and Affirmed Networks will cover customer requirements for vEPC, vCPE, 5G NG-Core, vIMS, vGiLAN servicesPotentially, a demonstration of the vEPC on Red Hat OpenStack in Containers.
