+# ONAP Operations Manager
+
+## Description
+
+The ONAP Operations Manager (OOM) is responsible for life-cycle management of
+the ONAP platform itself; components such as SO, SDNC, etc.
+
+It is not responsible for the management of services, VNFs or infrastructure
+instantiated by ONAP or used by ONAP to host such services or VNFs.
+
+OOM uses the open-source Kubernetes container management system as a means to
+manage the containers that compose ONAP where the containers are hosted either
+directly on bare-metal servers or on VMs hosted by a 3rd party management
+system.
+
+OOM ensures that ONAP is easily deployable and maintainable throughout its life
+cycle while using hardware resources efficiently.
+
+Full documentation is available in ONAP documentation in [operations and
+administration guides](
+https://docs.onap.org/en/latest/guides/onap-operator/index.html).
