Like any applications, adaptive applications require app services. Additionally, the same data that enables adaptive applications to be responsive to demands can be used to develop AI and machine learning solutions that further optimize performance.
This ability to scale helps keep CapEx and OpEx under control. Containerized applications can also scale both predictively (for example, in response to expected increases in demand like the ones retailers see for Black Friday/Cyber Monday), as well as on demand. Modern applications are able to grow, shrink, defend themselves, and heal any damage based on the environment they’re in and how they’re being used.Ĭontainerized applications help reduce TCO because they allow the automation of the routine tasks and actions that make up a large proportion of data flow through the network.
As service providers enable adaptive applications, they will be better able to deliver value to customers and partners. New applications in a 5G future will scale immensely, with full automation across multi-vendor integrations that interoperate using standard Kubernetes APIs. The 5G world requires adaptive applications-which, much like living organisms, must grow, shrink, defend themselves, and heal any damage based on the environment they’re in and how they’re being used.
