5G and Wireless Communication for Beginners - Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Infrastructure as Code

The video tutorial explores the concept of defined networks, highlighting their potential for rapid and scalable deployment through automation. It discusses the role of infrastructure as code tools in simplifying network management and the advantages of network slices in 5G technology. The tutorial compares virtual machines and containers, emphasizing the cost-efficiency and scalability of containers. It concludes with the impact of 5G on cloud-native solutions and future industry applications.

What is one of the main advantages of using infrastructure as code tools in network deployment?

• They enable remote configuration of multiple networks simultaneously.

• They are only compatible with wired networks.

• They allow for manual configuration of each network device.

• They require physical presence at each network endpoint.

How do network slices benefit 5G networks?

• They eliminate the need for any network security measures.

• They allow for shared network resources among all users.

• They increase the physical size of the network.

• They provide isolated, application-specific networks within a larger physical network.

What is a key difference between virtual machines and containers?

• Virtual machines are only used in cloud-native environments.

• Containers provide logical isolation with fewer resources than virtual machines.

• Virtual machines offer more granular isolation than containers.

• Containers require more resources than virtual machines.

Why are containers considered more efficient than virtual machines?

• They require more storage and RAM.

• They can host fewer network slices.

• They allow for more network hosts with less resource usage.

• They are more expensive to implement.

What is a potential application of 5G networks beyond smartphones?

• Exclusively in telecom companies.

• In industries, workplaces, and data centers.

• Only in personal home networks.

• Limited to smart home appliances.

What is a future development mentioned for cloud infrastructure?

• It will only support 3G and 4G networks.

• It will become wireless with ongoing solutions.

• It will remain wired indefinitely.

• It will not support industry solutions.

Which companies are mentioned as turning SIM card enabled Wi-Fi routers into mainstream products?

• Apple and Samsung

• Nokia and Ericsson

• Google and Microsoft

• Intel and AMD
