5G is the next evolution in mobile networking. While the rollout of Radio antennas and base stations is ongoing globally, the next generation of mobile core is still being developed. At Swisscom we are moving from a GitOps oriented approach with static configuration to a more dynamic KRM (Kubernetes Resource Model) oriented approach to improve deployment and lifecycle of the mobile network. This involves rethinking configuration management and change management as well as introducing new concepts from the cloud native world like Kubernetes Operators and Custom Resource Definitions. In this talk, you will learn what we are currently doing in achieving an end-to-end automation with dynamic configuration management that is based on Kubernetes clusters. We will talk about Nephio, custom built Kubernetes Operators, CI/CD tools like Flux and Argo and how it all ties in to GitOps.
