As such, we want to highlight major challenges facing cloud native telco transformations today and formulate principles and - requirements that will aid the industry in achieving alignment and overcoming obstacles. In this whitepaper, we are defining Kubernetes as the de-facto runtime environment for hosting the Cloud Native Network Functions (CNFs). We also use the term cloud-native infrastructure in broader context for the infrastructure that has Kubernetes in its core with useful API abstractions on top of it as as well as auxilliary systems as a framework that makes managing applications easier and promotes doing so in a cloud native way. + requirements that will aid the industry in achieving alignment and overcoming obstacles. In this whitepaper, we are defining Kubernetes as the de-facto runtime environment for hosting the Cloud Native Network Functions (CNFs). We also use the term cloud-native infrastructure in broader context for the infrastructure that has Kubernetes in its core with useful API abstractions on top of it as as well as auxiliary systems as a framework that makes managing applications easier and promotes doing so in a cloud native way. This is important because you are free to use Kubernetes (and other "cloud native" technologies) in a very uncloud-native way. Our longer-term goal, underlying this whitepaper, is for all layers of the environment to encompass the cloud native principles from infrastructure allocation + management, through the application workloads. A more in-depth analysis of these terms can be found in the book "Cloud Native Infrastructure" by Justin Garrison and Chris Nova. ## Challenges in Cloud Native Telco Transformation Today
