System-verified bare metal CaaS infrastructure for cloud native applications

Ericsson Cloud Native Infrastructure is specifically optimized for hosting cloud-native 5G applications. Providing the capability to deploy containers as a service (CaaS) over bare metal servers without the need for a virtualization layer, the infrastructure solution delivers a radically simplified architecture compared to running containers in virtual machines. By removing the virtualization layer from the cloud infrastructure, greater efficiency as well as improved automation and performance can be achieved.

The Ericsson Cloud Native Infrastructure solution can be distributed across central and edge sites to support numerous 5G services and use cases. The solution is based on Ericsson Cloud Container Distribution (a CNCF-certified CaaS), Ericsson Software Defined Infrastructure providing efficient hardware management, Operations Management for Cloud Infrastructure (OMC) and E-VNFM (Enhanced VNF Manager) to enable application orchestration using standardized workflows.
