Rancher: Cloud Native Telco Evolution: From Virtualized to Containerized Network Functions

From purpose-built hardware to virtual machines and now containers, service providers and telcos are re-thinking how they deploy and deliver cloud and network services. These service providers are on a journey to break down their monolithic stacks into small, reusable components that are consistent with a micro-services architecture.

In this presentation, attendees will learn:

• How CloudOps leverages a variety of cloud native tools such as Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE), RancherVM, Kubevirt, Multus, Tungsten Fabric and other related technologies to support the telco evolution.
• Ideas for how to containerise telco network functions that can be orchestrated by Kubernetes.
