Running Kubernetes on bare metal infrastructure is complex, requiring specialized expertise and significant customer investment in time and the tools needed to automate Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management.

This week’s blog is a joint post by Nati Shalom, CTO Cloudify and yours truly. We discuss the need for multiple K8s clusters along with Network orchestration.

We continue our discussion of the public reference architecture on the Dish 5G buildout on AWS with a detailed look at the deployment automation of the implementation.

This implementation uses O-RAN standards and consists of a Radio Unit(RU) deployed on cell towers and a Distributed Unit (DU) as well as a centralized unit (CU) which is deployed in an AWS local zone.

We continue our discussion of the public reference architecture on the Dish 5G buildout on AWS with a look at the physical network design and datacenter layout.

DISH Networks is pioneering the deployment of a greenfield 5G network. This implementation uses O-RAN standards and consists of a Radio Unit(RU) deployed on cell towers and a Distributed Unit (DU) as well as a centralized unit (CU) which is deployed in an AWS local zone. While these components combine to provide a full RAN solution that handles radio level control and subscriber data traffic, let us consider the key architecture lessons from this first blog.

Dish Network and AWS teams have just published a public reference architecture [1] on the Dish 5G buildout on AWS. As this is a project my team is involved in, I thought it would be a good diversion from architecture posts to discuss key aspects – the main business case & the architecture principles in this post.

Last week, we had a great MWC in Barcelona. The key focus was how 5G enables highly immersive experiences for various industrial and consumer use cases.

We will make extensive use of Outposts deployments when we discuss 5G network architectures in follow-up blogs in 2022.

Outposts is a family of fully managed solutions delivering AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location for a truly consistent hybrid experience.
