Keynote: Cloud Native: Essential for 5G
summary
Ericsson claims 17 commercial 5G contracts and says 5G can be about 10x cheaper per delivered bit than 4G; cloud native is required to scale, speed upgrades and run on edge or public clouds. Demo shows an MME split into three stateless microservice pods (each ~0.15 vCPU) handling roughly 7,500 simultaneous attached users and undergoing an in‑service rolling upgrade via Kubernetes with no user impact. Production cadence moves to every 3 weeks with upgrades cut from days to half a day. Open source (ONAP, Akraino, CNCF, Airship) and cloud networking changes (move L2 to L3, smart NICs) are called for.
