Is Kubernetes the Cure to Cantankerous 5G Core?

The full arsenal of technology required to deliver on the promise of 5G hasn’t reached commercial networks – yet. Ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, network slicing, edge services, and converged access hinges on the adoption of cloud-native and containers by telecommunication providers. 

Nokia argues the only way to achieve these goals is to have a cloud-native core. The Finnish vendor isn’t the only one doubling down on that idea. A report from ABI Research contends that the “momentum of enterprise 5G will come to screeching halt without a cloud-native platform.” 

Thus, telecommunication vendors are shifting their gaze toward cloud-native technologies and specifically computer science engineer salary for the resilient, flexible, scalable, and automated capabilities inherent to their architecture. The container orchestration platform is being tasked with managing the container-based infrastructure that will be needed to support 5G networks and related services, automating what previously would have been manual labor-intensive operations. 

Even as operators roll out 5G networks, there remain several hurdles to clear before their 5G arsenal is complete.
