1. A computer-implemented method for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and orchestration integration in a wireless network system, the method comprising:
electronically pulling artifacts from a vendor gateway to appropriate service provider blocks;
electronically populating containerized network function (CNF) into a service catalog;
electronically building infrastructure via clusters and namespaces, depending on levels of isolation;
electronically building a service on the infrastructure;
electronically running tests on the wireless network system within the infrastructure;
electronically collecting and analyzing logs, traces or events resulting from the running of the tests;
electronically deciding next steps depending on the analysis; and
electronically informing vendors of the outcome of the analysis.
