15 Getting Started With ONAP
16 =========================
20 ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven
21 service orchestration and automation including virtual network functions and
22 applications instantiation and configuration, but also physical network
23 functions configuration.
24 ONAP will enable software, network, IT and cloud providers and developers
25 to rapidly automate new services and support complete life cycle management.
26 By unifying member resources, ONAP will accelerate the development of a
27 vibrant ecosystem around a globally shared architecture and implementation
28 for network automation-with an open standards focus-faster than any one
29 product could on its own.
33 **Portal** - a single, consistent user experience for both design time
34 and run time environments, based on the user’s role.
36 **Design Time Framework** - a comprehensive development environment with
37 tools, techniques, and repositories for defining/describing resources,
40 - Service Design and Creation (SDC) provides tools, techniques, and
41 repositories to define/simulate/certify system assets as well as their
42 associated processes and policies.
44 - A VNF Software Development Kit (VNFSDK) and VNF Validation Program (VVP)
45 with tools for VNF supplier packaging and validation.
47 - Policy Creation (POLICY) deals with conditions, requirements,
48 constraints, attributes, or needs that must be provided, maintained,
51 - Closed Loop Automation Management Platform (CLAMP) provides a method
52 for designing and managing control loops.
54 - Optimization Framework (OOF) provides a policy-driven and model-driven
55 framework for creating optimization applications.
57 **Runtime Framework** - The runtime execution framework executes the
58 rules and policies distributed by the design and creation environment
59 and Controllers that manage resources corresponding to their assigned
62 - Service Orchestrator (SO) executes the specified BPMN processes and
63 automates sequences of activities, tasks, rules and policies needed for
64 on-demand creation, modification or removal of network, application or
65 infrastructure services and resources. SO is especially able to drive
66 any OpenStack-based cloud platform.
68 - Software Defined Network Controller (SDNC) executes network configuration
69 for cloud computing resources and network.
71 - Application Controller (APPC) executes Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
72 configurations and lifecycle management operations.
74 - Virtual Function Controller (VF-C) is responsible for lifecycle management
75 of virtual network functions and network services based on VNF using
78 - Active and Available Inventory (A&AI) provides real-time views of a
79 system’s resources, services, products and their relationships with each
82 **Closed-Loop Automation** -- Design -> Create -> Collect -> Analyze >
83 Detect -> Publish -> Respond:
85 - Data Collection, Analytics and Events (DCAE) collects events, performance,
86 usage and publishes information to policy that executes the rules to perform
89 - Holmes provides alarm correlation and analysis for Telecom cloud
90 infrastructure and services, including servers, cloud infrastructure,
91 VNFs and Network Services.
93 - Common Services - operational services for all ONAP components including
94 activity logging, reporting, common data layer, access control, resiliency,
95 multisite state coordination, credential/secret management and
96 software lifecycle management.
98 **Microservices Support**
100 - ONAP Operation Manager (OOM) use kubernetes and Helm to manage ONAP
