- Infrastructure as a Service, network placement and orchrestration as a Service
- Contribution opportunity around observability; Equinix would be interested conversations in insert observability features into the framework
- Equinix is using gnodeb built into Free5GC
- Potential 5G SBP Use Cases
- Slicing latency at the network edge. Find the characteristcs of the slice, example; maximum number of UEs, maximum number of videos sessions that can be supported; latency at the core and RAN
- Use Case- RAN deployment at the edge. Create a cell site (leveraging Equinix metro site availability) and place CU/DU workloads at the cell site. for slicing Use Case and cell site deployment (edge placement) Use Case.
- Use Case- Automation. Equinix has a script to deploy Free5GC and gnodeb. We can look into how that fits into automation and auto deployment for an automation Use Case.
- How are KubeArmor be integrated into the automated deployment (Muddasar).
- Use Case- Secure Orchestration- using Enterprise and corporate policies, and well as standards requirements, demostrate the capability to deploy workloads securely, and then create network slices based on an SLA
- Use Case- Overlay networks. Demonstarte the mapping of a 5G network slice to where the overlay gateway and controllers are located, and demonstrate how the placement of the UPF or RIC, where the traffic can be broken out to, support the overlay networks.
Muddasar summarized the Use Cases at a high level-
- RAN deployment at the edge
- Segregated core deployment- core cloud and edge cloud
- Secure orchestration
