First, we will talk about containers and Kubernetes. A container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. Kubernetes is a container-based deployment platform with many benefits such as elasticity, durability, ease of management, and cost-effectiveness.
Cloud-native containerization is replacing Virtual Machine (VM) as the preferred method of application deployment. However, the network requirements involved, including high performance and low latency, prove to be a barrier to the deployment of 5G applications. Cloud-native Network Function (CNF) enables network functionalities to run in containers instead of on traditional bare metal servers. |
