This session explores Vodafone’s NaaP (Network as Platform) journey in developing and managing telco APIs entirely in-house, leveraging cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes, PagerDuty, Github, Splunk/Instana and service meshes. By transitioning away from vendor reliance, NaaP achieved operational independence, reduced costs, and significantly accelerated our time-to-market. This novel approach challenges the telecom industry's traditional dependency on third-party vendors and offers a blueprint for other operators to adopt similar practices.
