Optimizing Cloud-Native Rollouts with CNF Resiliency Testing

Cloud-native 5G architectures represent a technology evolution to software-based services comprising ever-smaller software entities or microservices that communicate and run on shared cloud hardware. These cloud-native network functions (CNFs), which enable greater operational agility, reliability, and efficiency, also introduce risk and complexity. Containerized CNFs communicate via standardized APIs, supporting multiple vendors with services abstracted and exposed to smaller units of code or pods. Ensuring 5G CNF resiliency requires testing and assurance that allow CNFs to self-heal and continue running without disruption.

The challenges of multiple dynamic environments, performance expectations, and dependencies with cloud-native mobile network deployments means CNF resiliency testing must rapidly assess the robustness, fault tolerance, and performance of cloud-native functions in various real-world scenarios using a range of stress conditions. Enhancing 5G CNF resiliency requires proactive and continuous validation and optimization of cloud-native infrastructure and the numerous 5G application workloads that run on them.

5G CNF Resiliency Testing Solution

Ensuring 5G CNF resiliency requires proactive validation and optimization. The Keysight 5G CNF resiliency testing solution supports automated testing to ensure fault tolerance, scalability, and failover capabilities. The solution executes user-defined test scenarios, such as network disruptions, infrastructure failures, and high traffic loads. It also collects cloud-native metrics to monitor impact on the 5G CNF and cloud-native infrastructure based on 5G KPIs including sessions, registrations, handoffs, and more for faster innovation and roll-out of 5G services.
