Reference Architectures and Experience Kits for Cloud Native

Cloud Native Computing Foundation sponsored this post, in anticipation of KubeCon+CloudNativeCon North America 2021 on Oct. 11-15. With core network infrastructure on a rapid path to becoming fully virtualized with cloud native practices, it’s critical for systems developers to be able to efficiently design, produce and deploy reliable applications and services from myriad software, networking and hardware components.

In my most recent role, I was faced with the challenge of how to help communication service providers (CoSPs) accelerate the design and deployment of applications and services running on virtualized, multi-vendor solutions tailored for their unique operating environments.

The RAs are then complemented by Experience Kits with best-practice guidelines for how to architect, automate, optimize and adapt the network platform for cloud native software technologies such as Kubernetes, service mesh, security, packet processing, telemetry/observability and sustainability.
