Abstrakt: Telco over Cloud, Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking are changing the telecommunications industry landscape, more specifically in the Telco Service Providers network infrastructure and systems, by introducing cloud computing, virtualization paradigms and software approaches which are already in use and mature in traditional IT environments. This paper introduces the current telco cloud landscape and latest developments. It subsequently proposes a container based telco app orchestration mechanism. The shift of the telco cloud landscape towards containers is imperative as the traditional VM based NFV and SDN solutions are running into scalability and performance problems and have an impact on delivery speed and efficient resource utilization. In the solution we have derived in our lab uses a cluster container orchestration mechanism using Apache Mesos. A custom framework is developed to handle the Telco specific (NFV) capabilities on top of the traditional containers. This novel approach will help telcos to provision tons of containers in a span of short duration adhering to the QoS Requirements of the industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
