F5 provides BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes to Telenor AI Factory for sovereign AI
F5 announced that Telenor AI Factory will use F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs as the AI service plane for its sovereign AI infrastructure. The solution adds Kubernetes‑native traffic management, tenant isolation, real‑time telemetry and policy enforcement to the NVIDIA‑powered platform that Telenor is building for Norwegian and European customers.
Key points
- F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes runs on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs to manage AI traffic for Telenor AI Factory.
- Solution provides secure multi‑tenancy, policy‑based traffic control, and real‑time observability for sovereign AI workloads.
- Future updates will add token‑aware governance and inference‑aware traffic optimisation.
The partnership aims to let organizations run AI workloads on shared GPU resources while keeping data flows, usage and compliance under strict control. F5’s roadmap includes token‑aware governance, circuit breaking and inference‑aware traffic optimisation to support scaling commercial AI services. Telenor says the combined stack will meet European sovereignty requirements for regulated sectors such as finance and health.
The announcement positions both firms as providers of secure, high‑performance AI infrastructure in a market where governments are tightening rules on data location and AI usage.
