Intel Telco Cloud Technologies (Coursera)

Offered by Intel Corporation,
Intel Telco Cloud Technologies (Coursera)

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.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Transformation Technologies for Cloud Networking
Transformation technologies for Telco Cloud Networking leverage NFV/SDN in network functions virtualization implementations and increasingly Containerized Network Functions (CNF’s) built on a microservice architecture with Kubernetes for Cloud Native deployment. This Cloud Native approach is capable of running scalable applications across Cloud deployments bringing innovation with increased operation efficiency to the Telco Cloud Infrastructure.

WEEK 2
Network Functions Infrastructure Technologies
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.

WEEK 3
Introduction to Intel® Infrastructure Management Technologies
Intel® Infrastructure Management technologies support the Hardware and Virtual infrastructure layers of the Telco Infrastructure with Intel silicon and software enabling technologies designed for Telco Cloud Networking. Our Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor platform provides the Hardware Infrastructure to deploy virtualized and Cloud Native applications, together with Intel software enablement and Open Source community innovation to ensure an excellent experience and ease of use for developers.
