This section outlines the considerations for creating Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters for Core and RAN network functions. What to read next Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster DesignTanzu Kubernetes clusters are deployed in the compute workload domains. The cluster design varies for each function such as Core, RAN, and so on. Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Add-on FrameworkThe cluster add-on framework was introduced as part of VMware Telco Cloud Platform 2.5. The configuration and additional elements of the management and workload clusters are delivered through the add-on framework. Cloud Native Networking Design5G CNFs require advanced networking services to support receive and transmit at high speed with low latency. Advanced network capabilities must be achieved without deviating from the default networking abstraction provided by Kubernetes. Cloud Native Networking - Load Balancer and Ingress DesignIn a K8S environment, external services are exposed with Ingress connected to the Load Balancer. Cloud Native Storage DesignThe Cloud Native storage design section includes design considerations for stateful workloads that require persistent storage. The vSAN design forms the basis for the Cloud Native Storage design. RAN Timing ConsiderationsThis section describes PTP considerations for Telco Cloud RAN deployments.
