What the UDR does

The UDR provides a common repository for structured data used by network functions. This can include subscription, policy, exposure and application-related data.

Why separate data and logic

Separating storage from network-function logic supports reuse, scaling and consistent data access across cloud-native services.

Slicing relevance

Slice entitlements, policies and application context may depend on information maintained through the Core data layer.
