Telecom operators have successfully transformed their 4G/5G core network from traditional proprietary hardware into generic server-based telco cloud infrastructure over the past 10 years. This transformation has been driven primarily by ETSI NFV ISG standardization activities and Linux Foundation open-source projects. With the evolution of new technologies, such as public cloud, AI/ML, green and sustainability initiatives, and computing force networks - all related to telco cloud-native infrastructure - both open-source efforts like the Sylva project and standards like ETSI NFV ISG are focusing on unified common interfaces and models. The correlation among these technologies is crucial for telco operators’ cloud infrastructure, and they cannot evolve independently without mutual interaction. This workshop will provide an overview of the Sylva project, share the latest updates on ETSI NFV activities, and feature a panel discussion on the interrelationship between standards and open-source initiatives.
