GitOps Based Cloud Native 5GC Lifecycle Management – Case Study Based on Mavenir 5GC Implementation in Deutsche Telekom Technik with Das Schiff (T-CaaS @ TDG) Platform - Michal Sewera & Samy Nitsche, Deutsche Telekom

Running a Kubernetes-based application does not mean it's cloud native. We get the real advantages of the cloud native ecosystem only when we implement a fully automated platform life cycle management system based on GitOps, automating implementation of so called “desired state of the network”. This talk will present lessons learned and experiences from the transformation to the GitOps NF lifecycle management model based on a case study of Mavenir 5G SA platform implementation at Deutsche Telekom Technik, focusing on:
- CICD infrastructure and implemented practices
- GitOps based configuration management for 5G applications
- Requirements to support infrastructure rolling upgrades
- Challenges and ideas to support ISSU without a need for a traffic migration
