1 Introduction
This document contains information about the functionalities of Cloud Native Core Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Adaptor and how to use it to seamlessly deploy the CNC Network Functions (NFs) on OCI.
The information in this document allows the users to:
- Deploy the OCI Adaptor on the public cloud OCI platform.
- Deploy the NFs in OCI using OCI Adaptor.
- Collect logs, metrics, and traces of CNC NFs and share them with OCI PaaS (Platform as a Service) using OCI Adaptor.
- Oracle 5G NFs can now be integrated into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using OCI Adaptor to leverage the existing Oracle Cloud infrastructure. OCI provides a single-point platform for all Oracle products. Deploying CNC NFs on OCI allows operational efficiency, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), better performance, resource utilization, and persistence.
Overview
To leverage the existing infrastructure of Oracle Cloud, Oracle 5G NFs can now be integrated into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using OCI Adaptor to leverage the existing Oracle Cloud infrastructure. OCI provides a single-point platform for all Oracle products. Deploying CNC NFs on OCI allows operational efficiency, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), better performance, resource utilization, and persistence.
You must perform OCI deployment tasks in the same sequence as outlined in the following table:
