Your telecom cloud journey on AWS: Part 3 – Optimizing cloud operations on AWS for telecom excellence

This article discusses optimizing cloud operations for telecommunications companies (CSPs) on AWS, focusing on three key areas:

• Designing critical workloads with high availability and reliability
• Establishing a modern operating model that bridges traditional network operations and cloud-native practices
• Implementing comprehensive observability across hybrid cloud environments

Key recommendations include:

• Using multi-availability zone and multi-region architectures to achieve high SLAs
• Adopting Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps practices
• Creating a unified observability platform using AWS services like CloudWatch, EKS, and OpenTelemetry
• Implementing end-to-end monitoring with real-time data collection and analysis

The goal is to help telecommunications companies transition to cloud operations while maintaining the high reliability and performance required for critical network services.
