# Cloud-Native Telco Transformation 🚀
The telecom industry is evolving rapidly, moving away from **legacy, hardware-centric networks** to **cloud-native, software-defined architectures**. At **Swisscom**, we are leading this transformation by leveraging **Kubernetes, GitOps, and automation** to scale, simplify, and future-proof our network operations.
This repository is a **collection of our conference talks, blog posts, and open-source contributions**.
