Explore the evolution of telecommunications workloads from hardware appliances to containerized network functions (CNFs) in this 34-minute conference talk from DevConf.CZ 2025. Discover how the Telco industry has transformed its deployment strategies and learn about the unique challenges faced when implementing CNFs on the Far Edge, away from centralized datacenters. Examine the special requirements that CNFs impose on Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms, and understand the practical strategies employed in real-world deployments to address these challenges. Gain insights into CNF-based RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture and the specific needs of Distributed Unit (DU) CNFs. Learn about OpenShift's specialized functionality designed for Telco Edge deployments and how Reference Design Specifications help reduce complexity in RAN implementations. Conclude with a forward-looking perspective on the future of containerized RAN deployments at the edge, providing valuable knowledge for telecommunications professionals, cloud architects, and edge computing specialists working with next-generation network infrastructure.
