The first wave of Virtualization delivered few of the promised benefits of more agile working, faster provisioning and cost savings, with some VNFs still taking months to onboard instead of the desired few hours.
Matching Virtualisation Up with Cloud services is heralded by many as the way to achieve these promised benefits
Break VNFs down into containers can make them more agile and easier to scale, helping services built off them to become Cloud Native
But how far should you go? Do all services need containers, and how will the move to more Cloud Native Architecture affect Telcos relationship with Public and private Cloud Providers?
