Design of network setup automation using gitops operation

The deployment of cloud-native private 5G networks on public, private, or hybrid cloud platforms is becoming a key trend for operators and vendors. While cloud-native architectures offer rapid and software-driven deployments, they introduce challenges in automation, scaling, and network consistency. Current studies often lack validation in real-world environments. This paper presents a framework that uses open-source projects and GitOps principles to automate the deployment and management of cloud-native private 5 G networks on real infrastructure by leveraging Kubernetes and OpenStack. In addition, this paper addresses the fixed network topology issues encountered when transitioning from a test environment to a real production environment. The proposed framework facilitates rapid deployment and automation across multi-cluster environments, providing a practical solution for operators.
