Keynote: Driving Network Automation and Cloud Native
summary
Vodafone describes migrating core services onto software and cloud with 30%+ of network functions industrialised into the cloud today and >50% by fiscal year end, running successful production traffic peaks of 6+ terabytes on virtualized infrastructure, and launching 5G non-standalone across six countries on virtualized stacks. The stack uses VMware, public cloud for customer apps and DevOps pipelines, but faces slow, artisanal VNF onboarding, missing ETSI interfaces, and an urgent need to refactor VNFs to cloud native and standardize via CNTT to enable full automation and edge scale.
