CN Network Function (CNF) WG: K8s Best Practices for Telco Apps
summary
The CNF working group publishes actionable best practices and tools to validate cloud‑native network functions: the CNF Test Suite runs on Kubernetes (including kind or bare metal) to score CNFs against cloud‑native principles, and the testbed uses Kubespray and Helm charts and runs on Equinix Metal for repeatable use cases and benchmarking. Over 27+ organizations participate. Roadmap targets initial published practices in Q2, running tests in Q3, and a KubeCon NA update in October; weekly meetings are Mondays 16:00 UTC.
