summary
Proposes using declarative component manifests that include relationships, endpoints, metrics and vendor‑supplied hardware/BIOS/acceleration requirements (UPF example) so CNCF schedulers can place CNFs automatically; reports a measured 80% common requirements across vendors, so only 20% needs bespoke handling; outlines a GitOps pipeline (sourcing, config management, integration, distribution, deployment, validation) and life‑cycle states for relationships; demonstrates an AI‑driven template convergence experiment that rapidly consolidates operator manifests and suggests Nephio as a testbed.
