This repository contains user-oriented documentation and tutorials. For developer documentation, see the nephio repository.

This is a very early work-in-progress; right now it is just a starter page with links to other resources. In time we develop comprehensive documentation.

• Nephio Website
• Nephio Wiki

• Linux Foundation Press Release
• Google Cloud Blog Post Announcement
• Achieving cloud-native network automation at a global scale with Nephio outlines three basic principles Nephio follows:
  • Intent-driven: Nephio uses Kubernetes Resource Model (KRM) for intent
  • Distributed actuation: Nephio uses gitops and independent Kubernetes clusters at the edge
  • Uniformity in systems: Nephio uses Kubernetes-based management for infrastructure, functions, and function configuration ("Kubernetes Everywhere")
• On the road to public cloud 5G networks provides context and challenges for CSPs, function vendors, and cloud providers in bringing 5G networks to public cloud.
• Join us in evolving the usability of GitOps discusses some of the underlying configuration management techniques and technologies in Nephio.

More tutorials are under discussion in docs#1.
