The shift to cloud-native deployment models and containerized microservices empowers CoSPs to deploy composable applications anywhere in the infrastructure. Transformation technologies for Telco Networking have built upon Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Soft Defined Networking (SDN) for use in network functions virtualization implementations. The next phase of network transformation is adopting software disaggregation using a Cloud Native approach, capable of running scalable applications across Cloud deployments thus enabling loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable, combined with robust automation to support Operators to move faster and bring innovation with increased operation efficiency. Explore further the key technologies required by Cloud Infrastructure for Telco Cloud.

NFV uses standard IT virtualization technology to migrate fixed-function boxes to software applications on a Commercial off the shelf (COTS) Intel Architecture-based server. Cloud Native is a development and deployment methodology that helps organizations reduce toil and create a dynamic environment capable of running scalable apps. Telco Cloud Infrastructure enables new services and innovation with efficient and flexible technologies where Service Providers can really benefit from the TCO advantage of standard IT platforms with an open architecture to help grow the ISV ecosystem for best-of-breed Networking Applications.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
