"For the new model to work, vendors and CSPs must provide mutual SLAs: the CSP must guarantee a certain level of quality at the platform layer, while CNF vendors need to guarantee that the application will perform on the platform with SLAs that meet defined KPIs.Challenges in Cloud Native Telco Transformation Today (source: Accelerating Cloud Native in Telco whitepaper *)"
"We also use the term cloud-native infrastructure in broader context for the infrastructure that abstracts Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) layer, that has Kubernetes in its core with useful API abstractions on top of it as as well as auxiliary systems all as a framework that makes managing applications easier and promotes doing so in a cloud native way. This is important because you are free to use Kubernetes (and other "cloud native" technologies) in a very uncloud-native way. Our longer-term goal, underlying this whitepaper, is for all layers of the environment to encompass the cloud native principles from infrastructure allocation + management, through the application workloads"
