NWV_145d | On-Demand | 5G Core | 1
Course Duration: 1 hour
Telecom operators are on the cusp of a multitude of network and business transformation choices. This course (part of multi-part series) provides a high-level view of commonly used open-source solutions for packaging, logging, tracing, observability, monitoring of network functions and services in Telco clouds. It provides context of frequently used open-source projects and their relationship to deployment and operations (i.e., log management, infrastructure performance management) in telecom networks and clouds. In addition, the course explains a commonly used visualization solution for items like metrics.
Intended Audience
This course is designed for a broad audience of personnel working in the telecom industry.
