Empowering Cloud-Native Rollouts
Ensuring platform resiliency is up to the challenge.
Service providers expect 5G to power dynamic business transformation by diversifying and growing revenue streams, which requires cloud-native architectures. Ensure 5G CNFs will work as expected in production with cutting-edge resiliency validation.
Cloud-native architectures represent a technology evolution to software-based services and networks that enable resource optimization to reduce Capex, as well as agility and operational efficiency to reduce Opex. However, these advancements introduce considerable complexity.
The transition to 5G cloud-native networks marks a pivotal advancement in telecommunications. Mobile infrastructures are increasingly software-based, comprising ever-smaller software entities, or microservices, that communicate and run on commodity hardware. Cloud-native network functions (CNFs) are essential for operational reliance. Containerized CNFs communicate via standardized APIs, supporting multiple vendors with services abstracted and exposed to smaller units of code (pods).
Running in Kubernetes cloud environments, 5G CNFs are built with the knowledge that system failures are inevitable. Ensuring service reliability lies in how the failures are managed. The challenges of dynamic ‘multi’ environments, performance expectations, and dependences with cloud-native mobile network deployments means test and assurance must evolve to mitigate service disruptions.
5G CNF Resiliency Validation
Traditional pre-production testing is not sufficient for cloud-native architectures. In this complex and dynamic cloud-native 5G world, there is simply too much that can go wrong in the production network that traditional pre-production testing can’t detect. During pre-production testing, the underlying cloud environment is typically lightly loaded and mostly free of degradations. It is also not the actual shared cloud network the application will use in the live network. As a result, many issues only present themselves during production, when congestion or unusual states are encountered.
Powered by Spirent Velocity and supported by Managed Solutions, Landslide CNF Resiliency Testing is a cutting-edge automated solution that evaluates and validates cloud-native network function resiliency within 5G networks. It provides comprehensive testing capabilities to assess the robustness, fault tolerance, and performance of cloud-native functions in various real-world scenarios, enabling network operators and developers to ensure the reliability and stability of 5G deployments. Landslide CNF Resiliency Testing supports testing of microservices and containerized applications, ensuring fault tolerance, scalability, and failover capabilities.
