An Open Source Telco Cloud Stack to Accelerate the Adoption of Cloud Native Operator Model - Nevicato Guillaume & Mathieu Rohon, Orange

The Telco Cloud stack project showcases the value of a cloud-native, scalable, and automated Cloud infra. This Telco Cloud stack is built with open-source components and it fulfills the telco requirements. First Part, present the goal of the project to release a telco cloud stack to support 5G CNF (Cloud-native Network Functions) : Open RAN & 5G Core CNF. How will this initiative contribute to foster Cloud native infra for Telco purposes ? How will this initiative be interlocked with an existing ecosystem such as LF ANUKET or the O-RAN Alliance ? Why did the project choose to be Open Source released ? In which existing communities the development team will also directly contribute ? Second Part : demo based on a distributed Cloud Native federated lab across different Operators with several CNFs. The demo starts with an ANUKET conformance test of this cloud native infra as it is used to guarantee the conformance of the infra with telco requirements. Then we demonstrate a CNF Test suite of the CNCF, as it is a key verification to guarantee an efficient LifeCycleManagement TBC : demo showcases of Bare Metal opensource including Metal3 & Ironic to the Rancher stack.
