This includes details of software versions, known limitations, and outstanding trouble reports. Release notes are cumulative for the release, meaning this release note will have an entry for each Major, Minor, and Maintenance release, if applicable. Each component within the ONAP solution maintains their own component level release notes and links to those release notes are provided below. Details on the specific items delivered in each release by each component is maintained in the component specific release notes. 'Oslo' Major Release 15.0.0 --------------------------- +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | **Project** | ONAP | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | **Release name** | Oslo | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | **Release version** | 15.0.0 | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | **Release date** | 2025, January 16th | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ ONAP is a comprehensive collection of Network Automation functions, including orchestration, management, and automation of network and edge computing services for network operators, cloud providers, and enterprises. The ONAP Oslo release continues the ONAP Streamlining evolution, advancing individual ONAP components and clusters, enhancing security, modernizing environments, and supporting intent-based declarative solutions and GenAI capabilities. The Oslo key features as follows: - **Security Enhancements**: ONAP projects have addressed critical security concerns by converting ports to HTTPS, removing hard-coded passwords, enabling Kubernetes pods to operate with non-root privileges, and mitigating Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). These measures have significantly bolstered the platform’s security. Additionally, by leveraging industry-standard/de facto security protocol and mechanisms such as Istio Service Mesh and Ingress Gateway, ONAP ensures secure inter- and intra-component communications. - **Platform Modernization**: Components such as the Common Controller Software Development Kit (CCSDK), Configuration Persistence Service (CPS), Usecase User Interface (UUI), Portal-NG and Policy Framework were upgraded to Java 17. Additionally, various software versions updates ensure that ONAP leverages the latest software development frameworks. - **ONAP Streamlining Evolution**: This initiative makes ONAP components modular and independent through interface abstraction, loose coupling and CI/CD. As a result, ONAP has evolved into a collection of individual network orchestration functions, allowing the industry to pick and choose specific components and enabling flexible and dynamic function adoption. - **Intent-based Declarative and GenAI Solutions**: Supports generative AI solutions powered by large language models (LLMs), and includes data service enhancements (domain-specific datasets) of Intent-driven networks and Model-As-A-Service (MAAS). - **Industry Standard-Based Network Interface Upgrade**: CCSDK/SDNC now supports an RFC8040-compliant network interface. - **OpenSSF Gold Standard Achievement**: The CPS and Policy Framework projects have achieved the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Gold Badging standard, demonstrating ONAP’s commitment to high-quality, secure, and reliable open-source software development.
