Article Reprints
This article explores Keysight Technologies' journey to achieve Red Hat certification for its Telco workload Keysight Open RAN Simulators, Cloud Edition. In a previous article, we discussed the beginning of Keysight Technologies’ journey to achieve Red Hat certification for its Telco workload called Open RAN SIM CE. We described the Preflight certification process, which resulted in the certification of Keysight’s containers and operators. This article continues the journey, focusing on the Red Hat OpenShift CNF Certification for Keysight Open RAN Simulators, Cloud Edition (Open RAN SIM CE). We will describe the changes and improvements made in the product to adapt to the certification requirements. We’ll also talk about the workflow followed in collaboration with Red Hat’s Telco Partner CI team using Distributed CI (DCI). We intend to share the experience during the process and a compilation of good practices for partners that want to include cloud-native functions (CNFs) certification in their CNF CI process. We will also share the final certification results and conclusions.
