    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, medium, and system for implementing a pluggable diagnostic tool for Telco radio access network (RAN) troubleshooting are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, one or more containerized network function (CNF) instances are generated in a container orchestration platform by a test system and by using a telecommunication cloud automation (TCA) platform executed in the container orchestration platform, where the test system is onboarded to the TCA platform, and the one or more CNF instances are associated with 5G RAN. A customer resources (CR) file is received by the test system, where the CR file defines multiple test cases associated with validation of the TCA platform. The CR file is transmitted to a cluster of nodes in the container orchestration platform. The validation of the TCA platform is executed at the cluster of nodes based on the one or more CNF instances and the CR file.

    Abstract: Embodiments perform end-to-end virtual network flow monitoring in a virtual datacenter and provide differentiated views to users based on user role. A target flow pattern describing data packets of interest is distributed to a plurality of applications managing VMs in the virtual datacenter, such as hosts, virtual gateways, and other virtual network applications. Each of the applications monitors data packets routed by the application by comparing the data packets to the flow pattern and selectively collecting context data describing the data packets. The context data collected by the applications is aggregated at a remote server for analysis and reporting.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for diagnosing a data plane of a network, wherein the network spans a first data center and a second data center, and wherein the second data center is remote to the first, the method comprising: accessing a secure connection between the first data center and the second data center; modifying, by the first performance controller, firewall settings of the first data center from a first setting to a second setting; opening on the second data center an instance of a performance tool; opening on the first data center a client of the instance of the performance tool; sending data packets over the data plane of the network; receiving the data packets; generating metrics associated with the data packets; and modifying firewall settings of the first data center from the second setting to the first setting.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for upgrading components of a container-based cluster. The method generally include receiving, at the container-based cluster, an indication of one or more pods and one or more nodes in the cluster to upgrade, adding an annotation to each of the one or more nodes having at least one of the one or more pods running thereon, performing a pod upgrade, and performing a node upgrade, wherein performance of the pod upgrade and the node upgrade overlap at least partially in time, and wherein performing the node upgrade comprises: selecting a first node, determining at a first time that the first node includes an annotation, refraining from upgrading the first node at the first time, determining at a second time after the first time that the first node does not include the annotation, and upgrading the first node at the second time.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a simulation system that verifies functionality and performance of an automated telecommunication cloud platform (“TCP”) which is used to configure hosts of cell sites and a mobile core of a 5G cellular network. The mock hosts are created with a required virtualization platform inventory of objects for implementing a 5G cellular network and registers the mock hosts with a mock centralized server management platform (“mock VC”). The mock hosts are used to simulate hosts of cell sites and a mobile core of a 5G cellular network using features of the TCP. Scale tests are used to verify functionality and performance of the TCP are performed on the mock hosts without any changes to the TCP.
