How to build a telco in the cloud

Why are we here?

Currently, telcos...

• … are seen merely as a wire-provider.
• … offer a few products, tightly coupled to their infrastructure.
• … aren't seen as tech-leaders in the cloud/software world.
• … need more than 1 year to launch new products.
• … deploy ad-hoc configs, creating snowflakes.
• … develop features based on big customer's needs.

What about non cloud-native components?

Some products cannot be modified: we lose vendor support. Making their products cloud friendly is a challenge. Win-win model: vendors understand this paradigm with a collaboration model. Topology aware
