Challenge: Telco services require high availability and reliability to minimize downtime and service disruptions.
Solution: Redundancy, failover mechanisms, and container networking
To ensure high availability and reliability in telco cloud design, implement redundancy, failover mechanisms, and leverage container networking. Use clustering and load-balancing algorithms to distribute traffic across multiple instances of critical components. Employ automated failover mechanisms for prompt detection and transfer of workloads during failures. Select a suitable Container Networking Interface (CNI), such as Calico, Flannel, or Cilium, to provide advanced networking and security capabilities. Container networking with the chosen CNI, combined with techniques like BGP, ensures continuous connectivity and minimizes the impact of network disruptions.
