1 Introduction

This guide describes how to install or upgrade Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) in a cloud native environment (OCCNE), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It also includes information on performing fault recovery for SEPP.

Note:

  • This guide covers the installation instructions when Podman is the container platform with Helm as the Packaging Manager. For any other container platform, the operator must use the commands based on their deployed container runtime environment.
  • kubectl commands can vary based on the platform deployment. Replace kubectl with Kubernetes environment-specific command line tool to configure Kubernetes resources through kube-api server. The instructions provided in this document are as per the CNE version of kube-api server.

Caution:

User, computer and applications, and character encoding settings may cause an issue when copy-pasting commands or any content from PDF. PDF reader version also affects the copy-pasting functionality. It is recommended to verify the pasted content especially when the hyphens or any special characters are part of the copied content.

1.1 Overview

SEPP is a key component of the 5G Service Based Architecture. It is a proxy Network Function (NF) which is used for secured communication between Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) messages.

Note:

The performance and capacity of the SEPP system may vary based on the call model, Feature/Interface configuration, and underlying platform and hardware environment.

For more information about the SEPP architecture, see Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Security Edge Protection Proxy User Guide.

SEPP can be deployed, upgraded, and rolled back using Continuous Delivery Control Server (CDCS) or Command Line Interface (CLI) procedures as described in Security Edge Protection Proxy Installation. CDCS provides continuous delivery functionality for multisite Cloud Native Core (CNC) installations. For more information about CDCS, see Oracle Communications CD Control Server User Guide.
