Is Kubernetes the Cure to Cantankerous 5G Core?

Source:-sdxcentral.com The full arsenal of technology required to deliver on the promise of 5G hasn’t reached commercial networks – yet. Ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, network slicing, edge services, and converged access hinges on the adoption of cloud-native and containers by telecommunication providers. Nokia argues the only way to achieve these goals is to have a cloud-native core. The Finnish vendor isn’t the only one doubling down on that idea. A report from ABI Research contends that the “momentum of enterprise 5G
