Orchestrating Telco Cloud Workload with OpenShift and ArgoCD
This Learning Path focuses on deploying and managing telco cloud workloads using OpenShift and ArgoCD. Starting with an introduction to OpenShift's container platform and its relevance to telco environments, you'll explore deploying Cloud-Native Functions (CNFs) and managing network slicing. Progressing to ArgoCD, you'll learn how to implement GitOps practices for automating and streamlining telco workload orchestration. Hands-on labs guide you through real-world scenarios, including application deployment, lifecycle management, and continuous delivery tailored for telco cloud infrastructure.

Learning Path Flow:

Lab Architecture:
This Hands-On Training consists of master and worker nodes to understand how to build, deploy, and scale applications faster on-premises and in the cloud. You will be able to orchestrate your workloads and compare them to vanilla Kubernetes while applying your newly acquired skills to meaningful Telco use cases.

Lab Objectives:
- Develop a strong foundation in OpenShift by understanding its core concepts, architecture, and how it extends Kubernetes.
- Build expertise in managing cloud-native applications using OpenShift’s web console and CLI, leveraging automation for efficiency.
- Master user management and access control by configuring roles and permissions for secure multi-user environments.
- Develop troubleshooting expertise by analyzing logs, traces, and debugging issues in OpenShift environments.
- Apply your skills to real-world Telco cloud use cases and learn best practices for deploying scalable services.
Lab Architecture:
This Hands-On Training consists of a dedicated instance of GitLab environment that is going to be use to work with a Telco application, simulating the deployment of a 5G Core. You will utilize GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automate the build and deployment processes. Argo will then orchestrate the deployment on Kubernetes clusters, ensuring scalability and resilience. And as part of the monitoring setup, Grafana and Prometheus will be integrated to provide real-time insights into the application's performance.
