Summary
Cloud migration has become the backbone of how telecom operators rebuild their internal systems and serve enterprise customers, and the strategy behind it was the focus of a panel discussion at the Asia Pacific Telecom Summit 2022. Senior executives from M1 Limited and Reliance Jio Infocomm joined F5's chief technology officer to unpack how operators are approaching workload migration, microservices architecture, and open-source adoption across their networks.
Telcos are taking two different paths toward the cloud: modernising legacy operating support systems and business support systems in place, versus building entirely new digital platforms directly in public cloud environments. Both approaches raise questions about talent, vendor alignment, and how much of the stack should move to open-source foundations.
A recurring theme is the role of hyperscaler partnerships. Rather than building every capability in-house, operators are exploring how to combine their own private cloud ambitions with the scale and expertise of major cloud providers, particularly for advanced computing and analytics needs that support enterprise customers.
- Distinct strategies for small and medium business versus large enterprise cloud customers
- The shift from selling connectivity to selling managed cloud solutions
How should telcos balance building their own cloud capabilities against leaning on hyperscaler partnerships to serve enterprise customers?
