Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing cloud-native virtual network functions (CNFs) in a telecommunication network environment. The systems described herein involve receiving a request and determining or otherwise identifying a specific infrastructure solution based at least in part on attributes of the request. After determining the infrastructure solution, the systems described herein facilitate translating requests between a standardized API and solution-specific APIs to facilitate integration with a variety of cloud-native management solutions while also minimizing impact to existing service-based management architectures (SBMA) of fifth generation (5G) operations administration and management (OAM) systems.
