+The ONAP project addresses the rising need for a common automation platform for
+telecommunication, cable, and cloud service providers—and their solution
providers—to deliver differentiated network services on demand, profitably and
competitively, while leveraging existing investments.
-Prior to ONAP, operators of telecommunication networks have been challenged to
-keep up with the scale and cost of manual changes required to implement new
-service offerings, from installing new data center equipment to, in some cases,
-upgrading on-premises customer equipment. Many are seeking to exploit SDN and
-NFV to improve service velocity, simplify equipment interoperability and
-integration, and reduce overall CapEx and OpEx costs. In addition, the current,
-highly fragmented management landscape makes it difficult to monitor and
-guarantee service-level agreements (SLAs). These challenges are still very real
-now as ONAP creates its third release.
+The challenge that ONAP meets is to help operators of telecommunication
+networks to keep up with the scale and cost of manual changes required to
+implement new service offerings, from installing new data center equipment to,
+in some cases, upgrading on-premises customer equipment. Many are seeking to
+exploit SDN and NFV to improve service velocity, simplify equipment
+interoperability and integration, and to reduce overall CapEx and OpEx costs.
+In addition, the current, highly fragmented management landscape makes it
+difficult to monitor and guarantee service-level agreements (SLAs). These
+challenges are still very real now as ONAP creates its fourth release.
ONAP is addressing these challenges by developing global and massive scale
(multi-site and multi-VIM) automation capabilities for both physical and
virtual network elements. It facilitates service agility by supporting data
-models for rapid service and resource deployment, and providing a common set of
-Northbound REST APIs that are open and interoperable, and by supporting model
-driven interfaces to the networks. ONAP’s modular and layered nature improves
-interoperability and simplifies integration, allowing it to support multiple
-VNF environments by integrating with multiple VIMs, VNFMs, SDN Controllers, and
-even legacy equipment. ONAP’s consolidated VNF requirements publication will
-enable commercial development of ONAP-compliant VNFs. This approach allows
-network and cloud operators to optimize their physical and virtual
-infrastructure for cost and performance; at the same time, ONAP’s use of
-standard models reduces integration and deployment costs of heterogeneous
-equipment, while minimizing management fragmentation.

+improves interoperability and simplifies integration, allowing it to support
+multiple VNF environments by integrating with multiple VIMs, VNFMs,
+SDN Controllers, as well as legacy equipment (PNF). ONAP’s consolidated xNF

+This approach allows network and cloud operators to optimize their physical
+and virtual infrastructure for cost and performance; at the same time, ONAP’s
+use of standard models reduces integration and deployment costs of
+heterogeneous equipment. All this is achieved while minimizing management
+fragmentation.
+
+The ONAP platform allows end-user organizations and their network/cloud
providers to collaboratively instantiate network elements and services in a
-dynamic, closed control loop process, with real-time response to actionable
-events. In order to design, engineer, plan, bill and assure these dynamic
-services, there are three major requirements:
-
-- A robust design framework that allows specification of the service in all
- aspects – modeling the resources and relationships that make up the service,
- specifying the policy rules that guide the service behavior, specifying the
- applications, analytics and closed control loop events needed for the
- elastic management of the service.
-
-- An orchestration and control framework (Service Orchestrator and
- Controllers) that is recipe/policy-driven to provide automated instantiation
- of the service when needed and managing service demands in an elastic
- manner.
-
-- An analytic framework that closely monitors the service behavior during the
- service lifecycle based on the specified design, analytics and policies to
- enable response as required from the control framework, to deal with
- situations ranging from those that require healing to those that require
- scaling of the resources to elastically adjust to demand variations.

-Getting Started With ONAP
-=========================
-
-Summary
--------
-ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven
-service orchestration and automation including virtual network functions and
-applications instantiation and configuration, but also physical network
-functions configuration.
-ONAP will enable software, network, IT and cloud providers and developers
-to rapidly automate new services and support complete life cycle management.
-By unifying member resources, ONAP will accelerate the development of a
-vibrant ecosystem around a globally shared architecture and implementation
-for network automation-with an open standards focus-faster than any one
-product could on its own.
-
-Functionality
--------------
-**Portal** - a single, consistent user experience for both design time
-and run time environments, based on the user’s role.
-
-**Design Time Framework** - a comprehensive development environment with
-tools, techniques, and repositories for defining/describing resources,
-and services:
-
- - Service Design and Creation (SDC) provides tools, techniques, and
- repositories to define/simulate/certify system assets as well as their
- associated processes and policies.
-
- - A VNF Software Development Kit (VNFSDK) and VNF Validation Program (VVP)
- with tools for VNF supplier packaging and validation.
-
- - Policy Creation (POLICY) deals with conditions, requirements,
- constraints, attributes, or needs that must be provided, maintained,
- and/or enforced.
-
- - Closed Loop Automation Management Platform (CLAMP) provides a method
- for designing and managing control loops.
-
- - Optimization Framework (OOF) provides a policy-driven and model-driven
- framework for creating optimization applications.
-
-**Runtime Framework** - The runtime execution framework executes the
-rules and policies distributed by the design and creation environment
-and Controllers that manage resources corresponding to their assigned
-controlled domain:
-
- - Service Orchestrator (SO) executes the specified BPMN processes and
- automates sequences of activities, tasks, rules and policies needed for
- on-demand creation, modification or removal of network, application or
- infrastructure services and resources. SO is especially able to drive
- any OpenStack-based cloud platform.
-
- - Software Defined Network Controller (SDNC) executes network configuration
- for cloud computing resources and network.
-
- - Application Controller (APPC) executes Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
- configurations and lifecycle management operations.
-
- - Virtual Function Controller (VF-C) is responsible for lifecycle management
- of virtual network functions and network services based on VNF using
- VNF Manager.
-
- - Active and Available Inventory (A&AI) provides real-time views of a
- system’s resources, services, products and their relationships with each
- other.
-
-**Closed-Loop Automation** -- Design -> Create -> Collect -> Analyze >
-Detect -> Publish -> Respond:
-
- - Data Collection, Analytics and Events (DCAE) collects events, performance,
- usage and publishes information to policy that executes the rules to perform
- closed loop actions.
-
- - Holmes provides alarm correlation and analysis for Telecom cloud
- infrastructure and services, including servers, cloud infrastructure,
- VNFs and Network Services.
-
- - Common Services - operational services for all ONAP components including
- activity logging, reporting, common data layer, access control, resiliency,
- multisite state coordination, credential/secret management and
- software lifecycle management.
-
-**Microservices Support**
-
- - ONAP Operation Manager (OOM) use Kubernetes and Helm to manage ONAP components.
- - Microservices Bus (MSB) provides service registration/discovery,
- external API gateway, internal API gateway, client software development kit
- (SDK), and Swagger SDK.
