We’re excited to announce the launch of Nephio Release 5 (R5) — a major milestone in our journey toward open, cloud native automation for telecom and enterprise networks.
R5 builds on the foundation established by earlier releases and brings significant improvements in functionality, scalability, and usability. Key highlights include:
-
Support for multiple reconciliation agent types (ArgoCD and FluxCD)
-
Enhancements to the Porch platform for better scalability and robustness
-
Bare metal cluster support
-
Expanded observability parameters for future assurance use cases
-
Progress on O-RAN and transport orchestration
This release sets the stage for even more impactful features in R6, including GenAI-driven hydration and expanded GitOps capabilities.
