2 Overview
Deployment Environment
The 4G/5G Cloud Native Core provides a variety of possible configuration and deployment models:
Table 2-1 Deployment Environment
| Type | Host | CNE | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bare-Metal | HP Gen 10 Blades / Rack Mount Servers / Cisco Switches | OC-CNE 1 | In this environment, a kubernetes Cloud Native Environment is hosted directly on the bare metal hardware, while some other elements (DB or Bastion) are hosted using virtualized servers. |
| Cloud | Customer Cloud | OC-CNE | In this environment, all the system elements are hosted in virtualized servers deployed on a customer provided Openstack environment. The OC-CNE is deployed on the openstack infrastructure. |
| Cloud | Customer CNE | Customer CNE 2 | In this environment, the customer provides the CNE and deploys the 5G NFs directly into the environment. The Oracle provided common services, and DB Tier are not used; equivalent functionality is provided by the customer. |
- Oracle Communications CNE provides basic CNE environment for on-premise deployment.
- Customer CNE provides CNE environment for running 5G microservices.
Note:
The cloud environment security recommendations and procedures focuses on the OC-CNE reference environment. Customers providing their own CNE must have equivalent security procedures already in place.
