summary
Vodafone deploys Kubernetes-based Telco Cloud running 5G SA Core CNFs live in the UK and Romania and uses Multus and Whereabouts for multi-homed networking but finds extra NICs are not first-class and often forces dedicated clusters. Platform builds include a central onboarding and standardized node profiles (basic vs network‑intensive, hyperthreading and accel flavors), automated cluster lifecycle tooling, and a staged upgrade policy (~every 8 months across supported distro versions). Persistent issues: legacy EMS-style lifecycle, CNF sizing patterns, and the need for the CNF certification program and operator-driven blueprints.
