Fragmentation of all layers and a need for change in the deployment model
This is a list of modified challenges based on a Sylva article. This Cloud Native Telecom program can be part of solving these solutions.
- Sharing CaaS and physical resources among different applications to reduce wasted compute power with CAPEX and energy impacts
- Complexity for vendors trying to provide multiple cloud platform support
- Operational burdens on Telcos as the different “islands” will need different skills and will evolve at different speeds
- Solutions that can evolve with the necessary speed of cloud native
"if the Telco industry continues with its traditional deployment model then fragmentation is inevitable for the deployment of applications that mandate the use of proprietary CaaS (Container as a Service) and even specific physical compute." https://the-mobile-network.com/2022/11/why-the-eu-big-five-are-launching-sylva/
