Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] Integration of a private 5G core Net

[Please note: This e-mail is from an EXTERNAL e-mail address]

Dear StarlingX community,

I’m interested in the integration of a commercial 5G core with StarlingX. In the documentation I couldn’t find any descriptions about how it should be done.

[Greg] StarlingX is a Kubernetes/OpenStack platform for hosting containerized/virtualized applications.
StarlingX can host a variety of applications, 5G, Other Telecom Services, Industrial Services, etc. .

StarlingX Documentation currently does not provide descriptions of example application deployments/architectures on top of StarlingX.

Is there any description of the interfaces of StarlingX from/to the 5g core and RAN?

[Greg] The interfaces of StarlingX from/to Applications (such as 5g core and RAN) generally include
- generic helm/kuberentes interfaces for managing the application in the kubernetes cluster,
      > this includes indirect interfaces with network and storage backends
- interfaces with services provided by StarlingX in support of applications … e.g. Cert-Manager, Vault, MetricsServer, etc.

… i.e. they are more kubernetes platform-level interfaces.

Greg.

Thanks,

Zekeriya
