🪧 Poster Session: NOMADIC: How To Build a Flexible and Automated Compute Continuum From a Telco Operator’s Perspective - Xuan Du & Adam Morsman, BT
Thursday April 3, 2025 13:15 - 14:15 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrances S8 - S9, N8 - N9
Telco cloud infrastructure is challenged on both a horizontal scale, as it extends towards the edge, and a vertical scale, given stringent KPIs from telco workloads. Thus, leveraging a blend of heterogeneous hardware such as multi-arch CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators, and deploying them at large-scale and highly distributed locations is vital to having the most energy-efficient and cost-effective network.

What technologies from open-source and cloud-native communities can help address these challenges? NOMADIC (Network-oriented Multi-architecture Distributed Infrastructure as Code) is an answer by applying the declarative approach, DevOps practices, and self-service principles to demonstrate automated lifecycle management of telco cloud.

However, this presents yet unanswered questions on how to advertise heterogeneous resources so that intelligence driven workload placement can be achieved. A “single pane of glass” could enable this, but what implementation should this take?
