Ongoing lifecycle management

AWS TNB provides a unified view and control over the deployed 5G network, enabling CSPs to perform lifecycle management operations such as scaling, updating, and terminating network instances.

Recommendations: Implement comprehensive monitoring, observability, and automated remediation processes to verify the reliability and resilience of the 5G network. Leverage AWS services like CloudWatch, X-Ray, and App Mesh to gain insights into network performance and health.

Practical advice: Establish a proactive maintenance and patching cadence for the 5G network components to maintain security and operational integrity. Regularly review resource utilization and scaling metrics to optimize the network for cost and performance.

By following these reference architecture and recommendations, CSPs can leverage the AWS telco Network Builder to automate the deployment and lifecycle management of their 5G RAN and Core networks, unlocking the benefits of agility, scalability, and cost optimization while maintaining the reliability and resilience of their 5G infrastructure.
