UNMAINTAINED STATUS: This Juju-based deployment guide is UNMAINTAINED. The scripts may not work with newer Juju versions or the current Magma architecture. Juju scripts currently live in the magma/magma repository. Their proposed migration to the deployer repository is pending TSC consensus and a vote.

Operate your own private mobile network with Charmed Magma

In this tutorial, we will use Juju to deploy and run Magma's 4G core network on AWS. We will also deploy a radio and cellphone simulator from the srsRAN project to simulate usage of this network. You will need:

• An AWS account¹
• A public domain
• A computer² with the following software installed:
  • juju 2.9
  • kubectl
  • aws cli
  • eksctl
