Nephio: A New Approach for Automating Telco Workloads
Talkat Cloud Native Telco Day North America 2023 · on Monday, 2023-11-06· at 14:05· W193ab, McCormick Place·
summary
Nephio uses Kubernetes as an API platform to automate telco workloads at scale, adding primitives like configuration as data and package variant set to manage per-site variants across thousands of sites. The project implements management and workload clusters, kpt/krm functions, OCI/ Git package repositories, and a reconciliation loop. Proof-of-concept deploys free5gc core (UPF, AMF, SMF) on kind clusters, achieves end-to-end data plane traffic and day‑two upgrades, with two releases per year.
