The following section explains the components of the Cloud Native SBC.

The Cloud Native SBC is a containerized network function that provides network functions in the voice network. It consists of several components called the Cloud Native SBC Network Function Components(CNFCs) as below.

The Cloud Native SBC Operator manages the automated networking for call processing microservices. It assigns the network interfaces and manages the virtual IP addresses for the Cloud Native SBC applications. The Cloud Native SBC Operator uses Kubernetes custom resources to manage the life cycle of these applications that require secondary VNICs for handling SIP and media traffic.

The Cloud Native SBC Console performs the identity and access management and provides a GUI to manage the Cloud Native SBC configurations.

The Cloud Native SBC Automated Test Suite is an optional tool to run test cases on various Cloud Native SBC features such as SIP, Media, Routing and many more. You can perform continuous deployment and test a release once it is deployed using this tool.

The Cloud Native SBC consists of several components. The Data Collector gathers troubleshooting data from the Cloud Native SBC applications, which can be attached to a service request when seeking assistance from Oracle Support. The toolset also includes the Core Dump Manager, which is used to transfer core dumps from the Cloud Native SBC clusters to an external SFTP server. In addition, the toolset provides the Cloud Native SBC command-line interface(cnsbctl), designed to communicate with Cloud Native SBC components, including the Signaling Engine, Media Engine, and Transcode Engine.
