Abstract:
The continuous improvements in network softwarization and cloudification have enabled the realization of many applications. One significant result from this is the harmonized amalgamation of NFV, SDN, and Cloud Computing to bring telco clouds that efficiently operate in a 5G network. Although these building blocks have revolutionized the telecom sector in various ways, they are vulnerable to multiple security issues. Moreover, the absence of a generic architecture is another challenge that hinders the effective adoption of the technology. Consequently, in this paper, we have studied the designs proposed by various telco cloud providers and suggested a generic telco cloud architecture to serve as a reference for further study. In addition, we have also summarized vital security threats that can expose telco clouds to numerous attacks.
