Talkat Cloud Native Telco Day Europe 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 13:35· Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 10-12·
summary
Orange and Oracle show Sylva implementing GitOps for CNFs using FluxCD, ClusterAPI and OpenStack: repository-driven deploy CNF, upgrade Kubernetes cluster via ClusterAPI without downtime, and change NF configuration with FluxCD reconciliations. Demo uses an Oracle NRF with a tester hitting it every 30s; upgrades take ~30 minutes but remain reproducible and mostly green. Sylva reports ~60 developers, 29 companies, 12 financial sponsors, 15 validated NFs and a year in production; Terraform/OpenStack controllers and GitOps engines handle bootstrapping and retries.
