This template creates all resources required to deploy a Private 5G Core, including provisioning sims and creating sample QoS policy. It can optionally be deployed to a Kubernetes cluster running on an Azure Stack Edge device. |
| Create a new mobile network site |
This template creates a new site with associated 5G packet core resources. It can optionally be deployed to a Kubernetes cluster running on an Azure Stack Edge device. |
| Update a packet core control plane |
This template allows you to update the version of an existing packet core. |
Terraform (AzAPI provider) resource definition
The packetCoreControlPlanes resource type can be deployed with operations that target:
- Resource groups
For a list of changed properties in each API version, see change log.
