-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.
-
- - Virtual Function Controller (VF-C) is responsible for lifecycle management
- of virtual network functions and network services based on VNF using
- VNF Manager.
-
- - Active and Available Inventory (A&AI) provides real-time views of a
- system’s resources, services, products and their relationships with each
- other.
-
-**Closed-Loop Automation** -- Design -> Create -> Collect -> Analyze >
-Detect -> Publish -> Respond:
-
- - Data Collection, Analytics and Events (DCAE) collects events, performance,
- usage and publishes information to policy that executes the rules to perform
- closed loop actions.
-
- - Holmes provides alarm correlation and analysis for Telecom cloud
- infrastructure and services, including servers, cloud infrastructure,
- VNFs and Network Services.
-
- - Common Services - operational services for all ONAP components including
- activity logging, reporting, common data layer, access control, resiliency,
- multisite state coordination, credential/secret management and
- software lifecycle management.
-
-**Microservices Support**
-
- - ONAP Operation Manager (OOM) use Kubernetes and Helm to manage ONAP
- components.
- - Microservices Bus (MSB) provides service registration/discovery,
- external API gateway, internal API gateway, client software development kit
- (SDK), and Swagger SDK.

+Guilin Features
+===============
+ONAP Gulin 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.
