.. index:: Release Notes

Releases
========
This page is the ONAP Beijing Release Notes. The first release was
Amsterdam and subsequent major release will be named using city names.

* Release Name: Beijing
* Release Version: 1.0.0
* Release Date: May 24, 2018


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 timer
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,
services, and products:

 - 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) 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.

**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,
   and software lifecycle management.

Project Specific Release Notes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ONAP releases are specified by a list of project artifact
versions in a :ref:`manifest<doc-release-manifest>`.
Each project provides detailed :ref:`release notes<doc-releaserepos>`
and prepends to these if/when any updated versions the project team believes
are compatible with a major release are made available.

Platforms Requirements
++++++++++++++++++++++
ONAP Beijing Release has been tested on Linux OSs. Details are
:ref:`available here <demo-installing-running-onap-requirements>`.


.. index:: Download

Download & Install
++++++++++++++++++
There are 3 approaches to install ONAP:

* Full ONAP installation using Heat template
* Advanced installation to install individual components
* Experimental installation using Kubernetes

Full ONAP installation using Heat template
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a complete demo solution perspective. This installs the whole ONAP,
refer to :ref:`Setting Up ONAP <demo-installing-running-onap>`.

Advanced installation to install individual components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a developer perspective, ONAP can be installed component per component.
For details, refer to :ref:`the installation procedure available for each
component<index-setting-individual-components>`.
The advanced installation procedure is recommended only for experienced
developers who desire to focus their attention on a few components and who have
a deep understanding of dependencies between components.
This type of installation is not recommended to fully install ONAP.

* The list of ports used by default within ONAP is documented in
  `ONAP Service List <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Services+List>`_.

* The ONAP Source Code is available through Gerrit at https://gerrit.onap.org
  or Git at https://git.onap.org/.

* ONAP is packaged within Docker and can be dowloaded from Docker Hub at
  https://hub.docker.com/r/onap.

Experimental installation using Kubernetes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a complete demo solution perspective using Kubernetes. This installs the
whole ONAP, refer to :ref:`ONAP Operations Manager -
Quick Start Guide <onap-operations-manager-project>`.

Documentation
+++++++++++++
ONAP Beijing Release documentation is available :ref:`here <master_index>`.
For Beijing this includes:

 * A high level :ref:`architecture view<doc-architecture>` of how components
   relate to each other.

 * A collection of documentation provided
   by :ref:`each project <doc_onap-developer_guide_projects>`.

 * Application Programming Interface
   Reference :ref:`available here <doc-apiref>`.

 * The `developer wiki <http://wiki.onap.org>`_ remains a good source of
   information on meeting plans and notes from committees, project teams and
   community events.

Usage
+++++
This section is intended to provide users on the usage of ONAP components.

Instructions on using the ONAP deployment including Robot, Portal, SDC and VID
in the context of running (Onboarding, service creation, service deployment,
VNF creation, VNF preload, VF Module creation and closed loop operations)
the vFirewall sanity use case is documented
in `Running the ONAP Demos
<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Running+the+ONAP+Demos>`_.
