+Introducing the ONAP Architecture (Amsterdam Release)
+=====================================================
+
+Introduction
+-------------
The ONAP project was formed in March, 2017 in response to a rising need
for a common platform for telecommunication, cable, and cloud

Figure 2 provides a high-level view of the ONAP architecture and
microservices-based platform components. The platform provides the

+Portal
+++++++
ONAP delivers a single, consistent user experience to both design time
and run time environments, based on the user’s role; role changes to be
new collection, analytics, and policies (including recipes for
corrective/remedial action) using the ONAP Design Framework Portal.
-**Design time Framework**
-=========================
+Design time Framework
++++++++++++++++++++++
The design time framework is a comprehensive development environment
with tools, techniques, and repositories for defining/describing
can also update the loop with new parameters during runtime, as well as
suspend and restart it.
-**Runtime Framework**
-=====================
+Runtime Framework
++++++++++++++++++
The runtime execution framework executes the rules and policies
distributed by the design and creation environment. This allows us to
logging, access control, and data management.
Orchestration
--------------
++++++++++++++
+
The Service Orchestrator (SO) component executes the
specified processes and automates sequences of activities, tasks, rules
and policies needed for on-demand creation, modification or removal of
the infrastructure, network, and applications.
Controllers
------------
++++++++++++
+
Controllers are applications which are coupled with cloud and network
services and execute the configuration, real-time policies, and control
the state of distributed components and services. Rather than using a
with external VNFMs and VIMs as part of a NFV MANO stack.
Inventory
----------
++++++++++
+
Active and Available Inventory (A&AI) provides real-time views of a
system’s resources, services, products and their relationships with each
other. The views provided by A&AI relate data managed by multiple ONAP
and quickly via SDC catalog definitions, eliminating the need for
lengthy development cycles.
-**Closed-Loop Automation**
-==========================
+Closed-Loop Automation
+----------------------
The following sections describe the ONAP frameworks designed to address
these major requirements. The key pattern that these frameworks help

-**Common Services**
-===================
+Common Services
+---------------
ONAP provides common operational services for all ONAP components
including activity logging, reporting, common data layer, access
in each ONAP platform component, augmented by analytics and policy components
specifically designed for the detection and mitigation of security violations.
-**Amsterdam Use Cases**
-=======================
+Amsterdam Use Cases
+-------------------
The ONAP project uses real-world use cases to help focus our releases.
For the first release of ONAP (“Amsterdam”), we introduce two use cases:
