+ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven service
+orchestration and automation. ONAP enables service providers and developers
+to rapidly automate the instantiation and configuration of physical and
+virtual network functions and to support complete life cycle management
+activities. By unifying the resources of open source members, ONAP enables
+the acceleration of the development of a vibrant ecosystem around a globally
+shared architecture and the implementation of network automation faster than
+any product could on its own.
