"CSPs that cannot automate their software design-to-deployment flows will suffer because their competitors will take advantage of rapid software release rates that will enable them to improve their networks more quickly and at a lower cost."
Communications service providers (CSPs) cannot currently support the update cadence that is required for 5G. Continuous integration and continuous deliveryand/or deployment (CI/CD) streamlines software deployment so that improvements can be made to network cloud infrastructure and cloud-native functions on a much more frequent basis.
