Docker and Kubernetes at the Core of Malaysia’s 5G Digital Growth
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 17 July 2025 – Malaysia’s 5G rollout is changing the way we use the internet. From faster streaming to smart cities and automated factories, 5G is helping the country move towards a more connected future.
Behind this change is another important technology called cloud computing, which is made possible with tools like Docker and Kubernetes. These tools are now in high demand in Malaysia’s telco industry.
If you are looking to build a career in this fast-growing field, learning cloud computing through a proper course can help you gain real, job-ready skills.
Why 5G Needs Cloud and Containers
5G is not just fast internet. It also supports smart apps like connected cars, remote healthcare, and real-time traffic updates. These apps need edge computing, where data is processed near the user for quick results.
To run these apps smoothly across many locations, telco companies use cloud tools like Docker and Kubernetes. These tools help them manage apps without needing large teams at every site.
What Are Docker and Kubernetes?
Docker is a tool that lets developers put apps and everything they need into one small package. This makes the app work the same anywhere.
Kubernetes helps manage many of these apps at the same time. It keeps them running, fixes them when they crash, and grows them when more users come in.
Together, Docker and Kubernetes help telcos run their 5G and edge services smoothly.
Impact on Malaysia’s Telco Industry
According to Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), over 75 percent of Malaysia’s populated areas are covered by 5G as of mid-2025. At the same time, the Malaysian Communications andMultimedia Commission (MCMC) is driving support for edge computing across smart cities and industrial zones.
Some local companies are already testing Kubernetes in their projects. These include smart delivery systems, security monitoring, and farming using edge technology.
Despite these developments, a key challenge remains. Many companies are struggling to find skilled professionals who understand how to work with cloud-native tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
Career Opportunities in Telco and Beyond
With cloud skills and practical experience in Docker and Kubernetes, learners can qualify for high-demand roles such as:
- Cloud Engineer.
- DevOps Engineer.
- Site Reliability Engineer.
- Network Automation Specialist.
- 5G Solutions Architect.
These roles are needed not only in telecommunications but also in cloud service companies, smart city development, and technology consulting firms. As Malaysia’s digital infrastructure grows, the demand for cloud-capable talent will continue to rise.
Malaysia Needs You in the Cloud
5G and edge computing are powering the next generation of digital services in Malaysia. But to make them work, we need skilled people behind the scenes.
Learning Docker and Kubernetes is not just about tools. It is about preparing for the future and building systems that help businesses, cities, and communities.
Whether you are just starting out or want to upgrade your skills, now is the perfect time to learn. The digital future is here, and you can be a part of it.
