This live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day one of the Cloud-Native Telco Summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels was joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• How do you bridge the cloud-native skills gap to maintain progress and ensure continuous innovation?
• How is security-by-design and zero-trust being embedded into cloud-native operations?
• Is a long-term strategy of cloudification, digitalisation and AI predicated on a cloud-to-network convergence? And how does cloud native assist with such a roadmap?
• What role do API-first strategies play in accelerating cloud-native projects?
• How can operators successfully manage the cultural and operational shift to DevOps and a cloud-native way of working?
• Which cloud-native orchestration frameworks best meet telco requirements?
