"NTT DOCOMO aims to use a GitOps approach to accelerate pre-production testing and reduce its complexity."
NTT DOCOMO attended KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 and demonstrated how it is planning to apply GitOps practices to network testing in staging environments. It aims to replace its existing piecemeal automation for pre-production network testing with a common test automation solution.
This case study provides:
- an outline of the drivers of NTT DOCOMO’s strategy
- an overview of how NTT DOCOMO plans to implement GitOps
- an analysis of the benefits of NTT DOCOMO’s strategy
- a discussion of the outstanding challenges faced by NTT DOCOMO, as well as potential next steps for the operator.
