Glad to highlight another win that my team has been working on over the past year. Parallel Wireless has selected AWS EKS Anywhere as Kubernetes management platform for its cloud-native Open RAN solution

Join this chalk talk for an end-to-end walkthrough on how to deploy 5G core and RAN using open-source components, and learn all the foundational aspects for Amazon EKS and AWS (AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, Amazon CloudWatch, and so on).

This blog introduces Private 5G networks and their uses.

This week’s post features another customer story on AWS. This article is reproduced from the below and discusses how Snapchat relied on microservices and a multi-cloud strategy to overhaul its technology approach as it grew.

Those who pay attention and follow the 5G space have probably noticed the phenomenon of Operators moving their infrastructure over to the cloud providers.

We introduce Cilium, an open source community-driven project that aims to drive software-driven networking, network observability, and monitoring for cloud-native microservice-based deployments on Kubernetes and other container orchestration platforms.

Over the years, I have had the good fortune of working with some of the best engineering talent in the financial services industry on cutting edge, realtime platforms. A customer who led the way in the Capital markets space is FINRA.

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.

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.

Using the above architecture and dataflow model, eBPF programs can be attached to key ingress and egress points when the kernel processes networking packets. That leads us to SDN, monitoring, tracing et al.
