In mid 2019, Deutsche Telekom Technik started its cloud native journey. We quickly realized our task was: "How do you provide and manage hundreds or even thousands of Kubernetes clusters that are distributed over hundreds of locations with only open source software and a 10 person dedicated SRE team?" “Das Schiff” was born to run telco workloads including 5G Core, remote 5G UPFs, ORAN, MEC across all of these locations.
Sailing in cloud native sea, we have found many wonderful communities from which to make our port of call. The marriage of ClusterAPI and FluxCD gave us the ability to drive automation through GitOps, but this time for infrastructure management at 5G scale. Bare metal Kubernetes is also core to our journey, with many small nodes for horizontal scalability to run cloud native network functions (CNFs). Deutsche Telekom has also found a home giving back to the community, through the CNF Working Group, helping make networking cloud native. Our ultimate aim is to bring our learnings and results into generalized and consumable formats for the community to build an open platform for 5G and cloud native telcos.
