The migration of telecom core networks to the cloud has become a critical initiative for improving scalability, reducing operational costs, and enhancing service delivery. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and Business Intelligence (BI) tools play vital roles in automating cloud migration processes, addressing the complexities of data integration, and supporting decision-making. This conceptual framework explores the integration of CI/CD pipelines and BI tools to optimize cloud migration in telecom core networks. CI/CD pipelines streamline the development, testing, and deployment of software updates, ensuring efficient and error-free transitions to cloud environments. BI tools, on the other hand, enable data-driven insights, monitoring, and performance analytics throughout the migration process. The study compares their application in the telecom industry, identifying best practices, challenges, and sector-specific requirements. The paper reviews the Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process as an essential component of data migration, discussing the evolution of ETL techniques in both telecom and financial sectors. The telecom sector requires robust real-time data processing to handle high volumes of network data, while the financial sector focuses on regulatory compliance and data security during migration. Challenges such as real-time data integration, legacy system compatibility, and regulatory constraints are examined. The study also highlights the role of BI tools in automating monitoring, predictive analytics, and reporting during migration projects. By synthesizing existing literature and case studies, this framework proposes a strategic approach to integrating CI/CD pipelines and BI tools in cloud migration projects. The findings emphasize the importance of automation, scalability, and compliance, offering telecom operators actionable insights for successful cloud transitions. This study lays the groundwork for future research on leveraging CI/CD and BI for cloud migration in the telecom sector, ensuring improved operational efficiency and enhanced decision-making.
