  • Publication number: 20230229477
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, medium, and system for upgrade of telco node cluster running cloud-native network functions are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, a worker node group that includes a plurality of worker nodes is determined in a container orchestration platform. A first node to upgrade is determined within the worker node group. All pods in the first node are deactivated by a high availability as a service (HAaaS) module. Standby pods in a second node are activated by the HAaaS module and as active pods. All network traffic associated with all the pods in the first node is migrated to the active pods. The first node is deleted from the worker node group. Hardware resources associated with running the first node are released. A third node is generated as a new worker node in the worker node group and uses the released hardware resources.
