    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a containerized network function (CNF) management service is provided. The service may provide for allocating discrete sets of CNF resources deployed as pods to provide application services to end devices; identifying at least one threshold resource value associated with a first number of the deployed pods which are activated to provide the application services; determining an anticipated nonsatisfaction of the at least one threshold resource value associated with the first number of the deployed pods; and invoking, for a period of time, horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA) via an application programming interface to activate a second number of the deployed pods to provide the application services, wherein the HPA is performed non-incrementally until at least one of the period of time has elapsed or each of the deployed pods has been activated to provide the application services.

    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application management service is provided. The service may provide a coordination between network or platform level application management functions and application level application management functions that enables the management of an application service. The network or platform level application management functions may include autoscaling, load balancing, and ingress resource management. The application level application management functions may include throttling and circuit breaker functions.

    Abstract: Systems described herein provide techniques for establishing and modifying user plane communications sessions between Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) User Equipment (“UE”) devices, connected to LTE base stations, and a Fifth Generation (“5G”) core network. An LTE-5G Interworking function (“LTE-5G IWF”) may logically generate a virtual 5G UE and/or 5G base station, map a LTE UE to the virtual 5G UE, and cause the establishment of a Protocol Data Unit (“PDU”) Session, at the 5G core network, with the virtual 5G UE. The LTE-5G IWF may provide PDU Session information to the LTE UE and base station to facilitate the establishment of user plane communications (e.g., via a tunnel) between the LTE UE and the 5G core network. The LTE-5G IWF may also receive modification parameters, such as Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, and provide instructions to the 5G core and/or to the LTE UE to handle traffic according to such parameters.
