+ONAP is a comprehensive collection of Network Automation functions, including
+orchestration, management, and automation of network and edge computing
+services for network operators, cloud providers, and enterprises.
+
+The ONAP Oslo release continues the ONAP Streamlining evolution, advancing
+individual ONAP components and clusters, enhancing security, modernizing
+environments, and supporting intent-based declarative solutions and GenAI
+capabilities.
+
+The Oslo key features as follows:
+
+- **Security Enhancements**: ONAP projects have addressed critical security
+ concerns by converting ports to HTTPS, removing hard-coded passwords,
+ enabling Kubernetes pods to operate with non-root privileges, and mitigating
+ Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). These measures have
+ significantly bolstered the platform’s security. Additionally, by leveraging
+ industry-standard/de facto security protocol and mechanisms such as
+ Istio Service Mesh and Ingress Gateway, ONAP ensures secure inter- and
+ intra-component communications.
+- **Platform Modernization**: Components such as the Common Controller Software
+ Development Kit (CCSDK), Configuration Persistence Service (CPS),
+ Usecase User Interface (UUI), Portal-NG and Policy Framework were upgraded
+ to Java 17. Additionally, various software versions updates ensure that ONAP
+ leverages the latest software development frameworks.
+- **ONAP Streamlining Evolution**: This initiative makes ONAP components
+ modular and independent through interface abstraction, loose coupling and
+ CI/CD. As a result, ONAP has evolved into a collection of individual network
+ orchestration functions, allowing the industry to pick and choose specific
+ components and enabling flexible and dynamic function adoption.
+- **Intent-based Declarative and GenAI Solutions**: Supports generative AI
+ solutions powered by large language models (LLMs), and includes data service
+ enhancements (domain-specific datasets) of Intent-driven networks and
+ Model-As-A-Service (MAAS).
+- **Industry Standard-Based Network Interface Upgrade**: CCSDK/SDNC now
+ supports an RFC8040-compliant network interface.
+- **OpenSSF Gold Standard Achievement**: The CPS and Policy Framework projects
+ have achieved the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Gold Badging
+ standard, demonstrating ONAP’s commitment to high-quality, secure, and
+ reliable open-source software development.
