The OEM vendors in the telco industry executed the process of delivering the releases in phased cycles, as per the SLA terms between the operator and vendor, for many years. Hence, lack of configuration management and production rollouts delays were a few challenges the industry has encountered so far. We have seen DevOps adoption across many business verticals such as application, finance, OS vendor, etc., for faster time to market and continuous releases to the customers/production rollouts for their use. Similarly, the 4G to 5G technology transition and adoption of ‘software-controlled (containers/ cloud) and micro-service based’ architecture facilitates operators to get the latest features in short-span from OEM vendors. This includes operator-specific design changes, quick migration time from one software vendor to another vendor, and more, which means it brings advantages but with new challenges.
