As they digitally transform their networks to deploy 5G, many communications service providers (CSPs) have deployed virtual network functions (VNF) to reduce costs and increase agility. Now, software-defined networking (SDN) adoption and VNF deployment is shifting quickly toward containerized network functions (CNF)—making CNFs the 5G de facto standard.

This IDC report explores CSP cloud-native architecture and compute resources trends, including:

  • Cloud-native architecture benefits
  • Public and private cloud infrastructure for 5G workloads
  • Containers and virtual machines in the telco cloud
  • Containers and Kubernetes as the compute model for telco workloads
  • Red Hat software technologies for telco clouds and 5G networks
