CI-CT-CD, Devops loop for future Telco Cloud
summary
China Mobile describes a CI‑CT‑CD loop that automates vendor lab integration through to commercial NFV cloud, covering tens of thousands of servers across eight regions and 60+ resource pools. Jenkins pipelines and Docker images run vendor upgrades automatically, enabling >10 lab deploy/tests per week at under five hours each (some vendors 2–3 hours). Hardware automation finds and fixes ~15,000 issues, cuts build time by one‑third, and achieves zero configuration faults in the best workflow, then pushes tested images and scripts to sites for automated delivery.
