At Ericsson, we've embraced the open source ecosystem to build scalable, resilient, and fully automated platforms tailored to telco needs. This talk presents our technical journey in managing large-scale infrastructure using Kubernetes, Cluster API, and multiple open-source providers—including Metal3 for bare metal provisioning and Cluster API Provider OpenStack (CAPO) for cloud-based workloads. We’ll demonstrate how we orchestrate heterogeneous environments, spanning bare metal and OpenStack-based compute, through a unified, declarative lifecycle approach. We’ll also cover observability and alerting using tools like Prometheus and more, as well as real-world strategies for zero-downtime upgrades, failure remediation, and long-term cluster maintenance—all aligned with demanding telecom-grade requirements like high availability and real-time traffic handling.
