-The ONAP Platform architecture is built on the highly efficient cooperation of
-Design-time Framework activities with the functions provided by the
-Run-time Framework. The Design-time Framework defines resources, services
-and products, creates and manages processes and policies, provides a single
-platform for deploying and defining instantiation management besides many
-other activities. The Run-time framework manages the full lifecycle of
-networks, services, resources, topology, orchestrates delivery, provides
-monitoring via analytics and controls activities for applications and
-virtual functions.
+Please find some guidance here on the content of the Casablanca Release documentation for ONAP:
 
-ONAP platform activities are supported by the Microservices support
-system and by the ONAP Portal.
