-
-Getting Started With ONAP
-=========================
-
-Summary
--------
-ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven
-service orchestration and automation including virtual network functions and
-applications instantiation and configuration, but also physical network
-functions configuration.
-ONAP will enable software, network, IT and cloud providers and developers
-to rapidly automate new services and support complete life cycle management.
-By unifying member resources, ONAP will accelerate the development of a
-vibrant ecosystem around a globally shared architecture and implementation
-for network automation-with an open standards focus-faster than any one
-product could on its own.
-
-Functionality
--------------
-**Portal** - a single, consistent user experience for both design time
-and run time environments, based on the user’s role.
-
-**Design Time Framework** - a comprehensive development environment with
-tools, techniques, and repositories for defining/describing resources,
-and services:
-
- - Service Design and Creation (SDC) provides tools, techniques, and
- repositories to define/simulate/certify system assets as well as their
- associated processes and policies.
-
- - A VNF Software Development Kit (VNFSDK) and VNF Validation Program (VVP)
- with tools for VNF supplier packaging and validation.
-
- - Policy Creation (POLICY) deals with conditions, requirements,
- constraints, attributes, or needs that must be provided, maintained,
- and/or enforced.
-
- - Closed Loop Automation Management Platform (CLAMP) provides a method
- for designing and managing control loops.
-
- - Optimization Framework (OOF) provides a policy-driven and model-driven
- framework for creating optimization applications.
-
-**Runtime Framework** - The runtime execution framework executes the
-rules and policies distributed by the design and creation environment
-and Controllers that manage resources corresponding to their assigned
-controlled domain:
-
- - Service Orchestrator (SO) executes the specified BPMN processes and
- automates sequences of activities, tasks, rules and policies needed for
- on-demand creation, modification or removal of network, application or
- infrastructure services and resources. SO is especially able to drive
- any OpenStack-based cloud platform.
-
- - Software Defined Network Controller (SDNC) executes network configuration
- for cloud computing resources and network.
-
- - Application Controller (APPC) executes Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
- configurations and lifecycle management operations.

+Guilin Features
+===============
+ONAP Guilin focusses on:
+
+* 5G network automation and services such as network slicing through RAN, core
+ and transport
+* deepening O-RAN Software Community integration along with other leading SDOs
+* seamless orchestration of CNFs, VNFs and PNFs
+* and bringing several new ONAP Blueprint and docs updates.
+
+5G Network Slicing
+------------------
+In the industry evolution toward 5G networks, Guilin expands upon the
+end-to-end network slicing introduced with Frankfurt with the addition of RAN,
+core, and transport through Network Slice Subnet Management Function (NSSMF)
+which completes functionality with the Communication Service Management
+Function (CSMF) and Network Slice Management Function (NSMF) components. In
+addition to the NSSMF included in Guilin, ONAP supports an external RAN NSSMF.
+Next, the RAN domain also has initial support for a simple closed control loop
+and machine learning (ML) for intelligent slicing.
+
+ONAP/O-RAN Alignment
+--------------------
+The release also marks greater ONAP + O-RAN Software Community harmonization by
+adding support for the A1 interface (O-RAN A1-AP v1.1), adding to the existing
+O1 support. ONAP can now manage multiple A1 targets with different versions and
+includes a A1 Policy Management Service that interacts with the Near Real-Time
+RIC\19s policy instances and provides a transient cache for these policies.
+
+CNF, VNF and PNF integration
+----------------------------
+Guilin contains a large number of new features classified into design time,
+run time, and ONAP operations to optimize the self-serve control loop and
+dashboard, make it easier to reuse existing models, make xNF pre-onboarding and
+onboarding easier, speed up UI development, and more. For Documentation
+(Usability), ONAP documentation made improvements such as setting up ONAP,
+Platform Operations, Service Design and Deployment, and User Guides. Specific
+to cloud native, The Service Design & Creation (SDC) project, the unified
+design time tool, now supports Helm types to natively support Cloud Native
+Network Functions (CNF).
+
+Enhancements in ONAP Blueprints
+-------------------------------
+Other enhancements to the ONAP Blueprints includes a new Standard Defined VNF
+Event Stream (VES) event for Fault Management (FM) / Performance Management
+(PM) Data Collection, the first use of Machine Learning in Self-Organizing
+Networks (SON), and greater support for 5G RAN Wireless Network Resource Model
+(NRM) with Service Modeling and Definition and Intent Based Network supporting
+intent-drive 5G slice creation. The Cross Domain and Cross Layer VPN (CC-VPN)
+includes transport slicing and the MDONS (Multi-Domain Optical Network Service
+) has been extended.
