As service providers begin to roll out 5G POCs and initial deployments, there is no question that these cloud native platforms will be huge Capex and Opex investments on their part. These platforms should be able to handle diverse workloads such as telco, edge and enterprise applications. They must be efficient as well as robust from an operational standpoint. They must also serve the operator well for years. While it is never my intention to be hyperbolic or combative, the question is if Openstack is a viable 5G platform – when compared with hyperscaler clouds.
