Challenge: Telco networks handle massive data and traffic volumes, requiring the telco cloud to scale effectively.
Solution: Cloud-Native architecture, containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, auto-scaling, and SDN
To address scalability and resource management in telco cloud design, adopt a cloud-native architecture and leverage containerization technologies, orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, software-defined networking (SDN), and capacity planning tools. A cloud-native architecture enables horizontal and vertical scalability by separating applications into containerized components. Orchestration platforms like Kubernetes automate resource allocation and provide features like autoscaling. SDN facilitates efficient traffic routing and load balancing. Capacity planning tools like Prometheus or Grafana help forecast resource requirements and optimize infrastructure provisioning.
