Vendors lay groundwork for 5G with greener and faster mobile networks
A new generation of mobile network equipment comes with lofty promises of better coverage and performance for subscribers, by making it easier for operators to add more capacity and support for new radio technologies.Mobile operators are facing a number of challenges, starting with building networks that won’t get overwhelmed by traffic growth mainly driven by video. The most straightforward way of doing this is adding more spectrum—or lanes, if you will—to their networks. It isn’t a coincidence that the recent AWS (Advanced Wireless Service) spectrum auction in the U.S. was a blockbuster and that operators want to use Wi-Fi frequencies for LTE.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
In our last post, we looked at how Kubernetes handles the bulk of it’s networking. What we didn’t cover yet, was how to access services deployed in the Kubernetes cluster from outside the cluster. Obviously services that live in pods can be accessed directly as each pod has its own routable IP address. But what if we want something a little more dynamic? What if we used a replication controller to scale our web front end? We have the Kubernetes service, but what I would call its VIP range (Portal Net) isn’t routable on the network. There are a couple of ways to solve this problem. Let’s walk through the problem and talk about a couple of ways to solve it. I’ll demonstrate the way I chose to solve it but that doesn’t imply that there aren’t other better ways as well.
