(Note the title of the slides was updated so does not match, but content is correct) You've heard of large scale open source architectures, but have you ever wanted to take a serious look at real life enterprise telco implementations that scale? This session takes attendees on a tour of multiple use cases for enterprise challenges in the telco domain with a look at use cases for integration, networks, 5G, hyperscalers, and much more. Not only are these architectures interesting, but they are successful real life implementations featuring open source technologies and power many of your own edge experiences. The attendee departs this session with a working knowledge of how to map general open source technologies to their own telco solutions. Material covered is available freely online and attendees can use these solutions as starting points for aligning to their own solution architectures. Join us for an hour of power as we talk architecture shop!

6. These architectures are providing a common repeatable process, visual
language and tool set, presentations, and architecture diagrams. These
document customer deployments of three or more open source
technologies that continuously advance successful customer use cases.

7. THREE LEVELS OF ARCHITECTURE
Logical view
High level abstractions of services
and platforms.
No networking or data flows.
Service descriptions can be added.
Schema / Physical
Describes the main nodes and
services and their interactions and
network connections.
Product details can be included.
Cardinality and logical groupings
can be described.
Node or Service detail
Detailed look at one specific
service.
Includes deployment mode, storage
and networking details.
