Managing Software Upgrades with a kpt, GitLab and Flux Workflow in a Telecom Context - Peter Wörndle, Ericsson

This talk will outline how kpt, GitLab and Flux can be used to ingest and apply software upgrades from 3rd party sources. Peter will cover some of the challenges present in a telecom environment, when it comes to software distribution and ingestion and how the proposed toolchain can overcome these challenges. By applying a 3-way merge with kpt we can present and facilitate approval of changes to be applied during the update. Peter will also introduce potential extensions to the proposal invoking a Operations & Support System (OSS) or orchestration for updates with larger dependencies in the network.
