Open Network Automation Platform Overview
=========================================
In order to design, deploy and operate services and assure these dynamic
services, ONAP activities are built up as follows:
-* **Service design** – Service design is built on a robust design framework that
- allows specification of the service in all aspects – modeling the resources and
- relationships that make up the service, specifying the policy rules that guide
- the service behavior, specifying the applications, analytics and closed control
- loop events needed for the elastic management of the service.

* **Service deployment** – Service deployment is built on an orchestration
and control framework that is policy-driven (Service Orchestrator and
Controllers) to provide automated instantiation of the service when

2. **Service orchestration and deployment**
+
a. Defining which VNFs are necessary for the service
b. Defining orchestration steps
c. Selecting valid cloud region
d. Service orchestration calling cloud APIs to deploy VNFs

+ * The onboarding and instantiation of VNFs in ONAP is represented via
the example of onboarding and instantiating a virtual network function
(VNF), the virtual Firewall (vFirewall). Following the guidelines and
steps of this example, any other VNF can be similarly onboarded
and instantiated to ONAP. See :ref:`virtual Firewall Onboarding and
Instantiating <vfirewall_usecase>` examples.

e. Controllers applying configuration on VNFs

3. **Service operations**
+
a. Closed Loop design and deployment
b. Collecting and evaluating event data
