"CSPs that cannot automate their software design-to-deployment flows will suffer because their competitors will take advantage of rapid software release rates that will enable them to improve their networks more quickly and at a lower cost."
Communications service providers (CSPs) cannot currently support the update cadence that is required for 5G. Continuous integration and continuous deliveryand/or deployment (CI/CD) streamlines software deployment so that improvements can be made to network cloud infrastructure and cloud-native functions on a much more frequent basis.
Information included in this report
- Analysis of the challenges that CSPs face in introducing automation that streamlines the validation and deployment of network upgrades
- Key objectives and benefits of implementing effective CI/CD pipelines
- Insights that CSPs can draw upon when formulating their CI/CD adoption strategies
- Considerations for CSPs when collaborating with vendors to build CI/CD frameworks
