Lightning Talk: Introducing O-Cloud, or How 5G Leverages Kubernetes
summary
O-Cloud proposes running 5G RAN workloads on commodity hardware using Kubernetes alongside bare metal and VNFs, with the O-RAN Alliance’s work group 6 defining orchestration and the O2 interface for SMO-to-cloud control. The platform exposes CPUs, memory, storage, FPGAs and DPUs and forces solutions for high-performance networking (DPDK, SR-IOV-style paths), cross-cluster connectivity, accelerator access, namespaces and volume handling. The spec does not mandate one orchestrator, so multiple on-prem and public Kubernetes clusters are expected to co-exist.
