Lab: Map 5GC NFs to Kubernetes objects

Designing the Kubernetes Object Model

In this lab you will map each 5G Core network function to the most appropriate Kubernetes workload object based on its operational characteristics. You will analyze whether each NF is stateless or stateful, whether it requires specific node placement, and what networking and storage requirements it has. The goal is to produce a complete Kubernetes resource mapping that could serve as the foundation for a real 5GC deployment. Consider factors like scaling behavior, failure recovery patterns, and data persistence needs for each network function as you make your selections.
