+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Overview of use cases, installation, release notes, etc.
+This page provides the release notes for the ONAP Istanbul release. This
+includes details of software versions, known limitations, and outstanding
+trouble reports.
+Release notes are cumulative for the release, meaning this release note will
+have an entry for each Major, Minor, and Maintenance release, if applicable.
+Each component within the ONAP solution maintains their own component level
+release notes and links to those release notes are provided below.
+Details on the specific items delivered in each release by each component is
+maintained in the component specific release notes.

+Features
+--------
+ONAP Istanbul focusses on:
+
+- Intent based networking (IBN) simplifies interaction and network
+ configuration by Control-Loop and Smart AI.
+- Alignment with O-RAN Strategy to enable new RAN use cases
+- Continued Cloud Native evolution with a rich feature set for CNF
+ orchestration capabilities
+- Next level of functionality for 5G use cases including Network Slicing,
+ Performance management, SON, and CCVPN
+- A second generation of control loop automation architecture
+- New Network Function lifecycle management features based on real-life use
+ cases
+- New functionality for complex network configuration management
+- Flexibility in resource onboarding with choice of modeling including SDC AID,
+ ETSI SOL001
+- Software quality and security improvements based on deployment experience
+
+Functional Requirements
+-----------------------
+
+Increased Cloud Native Functionality
+....................................
+Information about created CNF resources in k8s cluster are now available. This
+information can be utilized later on i.e. in closed-loop context. CNF
+Healthcheck Workflow in SO will let to monitor the status of CNF deployed into
+k8s cluster and whether it is healthy or not. Further changes in k8splugin
+related to Helm specification support allow for the better and more reliable
+deployment of complex CNFs defined as a Helm package. ONAP now supports
+Helm 3.5 package specification.
+
+E2E Network Slicing
+...................
+
+- Support for NSMF (Network Slice Management Function) based TN
+ (Transport Network) slices in which NSMF is responsible for TN-FH (FrontHaul)
+ and TN-MH (MidHaul) allocation
+- RAN NSSMF (Network Slice Subnet Management Function) integration with CPS
+ (Configuration Persistence Service) and handled closed loop impacts
+- POC on A1-interface for closed loop updates
+- KPI Monitoring enhancements
+
+Intent-based networking
+.......................
+The Intent Based Networking (IBN) use case includes the development of an
+intent framework that contains intent modeling, intent translation, intent
+execution and intent decision making. The intent UI is implemented in UUI
+and the components of the intent framework interact with many components of
+ONAP including SO, A&AI, Policy, DCAE, and CDS.
+
+Control Loop evolutions
+.......................
+
+- CLAMP functionality is merged into Policy Framework project
+- Control Loops can be defined and described in Metadata using TOSCA. Control
+ loops can run on the fly on any component that implements a *participant*
+ API. Control Loops can be commissioned into Policy/CLAMP, they can be
+ parameterized, initiated on arbitrary participants, activated and monitored
+- Policy Handling Improvements: Support delta policies in PDPs
+- CLAMP Client Policy and TOSCA Handling
+- Policy Handling Improvements
+- System Attribute Improvements
+
+Fault management
+................
+
+- Updates in fault management reporting and fault handling to be in line with
+ VES 7.2, 3GPP and smoother future alignment with O1 for OOF-SON
+- Performance Management data collection control provides 5G network operators
+ with a dynamic and more efficient way to configure performance measurement
+ collection on a selected subset of PNFs/VNFs in the network and complements
+ the existing PM data collection and processing capabilities in ONAP/DCAE
+- Simplified deployment for DCAE services via Helm
+- Reduction on ONAP/DCAE footprint under transformation initiative by
+ deprecating Cloudify based platform components and Consul
+- VES 7.2.1 integration for HV_VES enables ONAP, 3GPP, ORAN alignment
+- Enhancements for Network Slicing, Bulk PM, OOF-SON usecases
+
+Extended O-RAN Integration
+..........................
+
+- Improvements for managing A1 Policies and terminating the A1 interface for
+ A1 Policies
+- A1 Adapter and A1 Policy Managements Enhancements
+
+Controllers
+...........
+
+- SDN-C is based on OpenDaylight major release upgrade (Silicon)
+- Enhancements to CCVPN, Network Slicing, and ONAP A1 Interface
+
+Service Design
+..............
+
+- SDC can be used for onboarding resources and designing services with models
+ other than SDC AID
+
+Inventory
+.........
+
+- Model updates as part of CCVPN Transport Slicing Feature
+- Model updates as part of Smart Intent Guarantee based on IBN Feature
+- Model updates as part of CNF Orchestration Feature
+
+ONAP Operations Manager
+.......................
+
+- IPv4 / IPv6 dual stack support in ONAP: support for Kubernetes 1.20+
+ DualStack networking properties in ONAP K8S Service spec properties.
+ Upgraded EJBCA CMP v2 server to version 7.x
+- CMPv2 enhancements: certificate update implemented using Key Update Request
+ (KUR) and Certificate Request (CR) CMPv2 messages
+
+Non-Functional Requirements
+---------------------------
+
+The following 'non-functional' requirements are followed in the
+Istanbul Release:
+
+Best Practice
+.............
+
+- ONAP shall use STDOUT for logs collection

+ validation and documenting it in their CII Badging site
+- Each ONAP project shall define code coverage improvements and achieve at
+ least 55% code coverage
+
+Security
+........
+
+- Python language 3.8
+- Java language v11
+- All containers must run as non-root user
+- Continue hardcoded passwords removal
+- Flow management must be activated for ONAP
+- Each project will update the vulnerable direct dependencies in their code
+ base
+
+Documentation
+.............
+
