How CSPs can develop their assurance capabilities to meet the demands of cloud-native virtual infrastructure

The shift to cloud-based and programmable networks is making network management more complex. The existing assurance systems, which were built for simpler networks, are struggling to cope with this complexity and the unique demands of emerging 5G and AI technologies.
