Next gen services require automation
A software defined world —
NFV, SDN, Edge — requires
management &
orchestration
The number of workload
vendors (VNF, PNF, CNF,
Analytics, Edge apps)
requires vendor agnostic
solutions
The dynamic nature of next
generation services requires
full automation

What is ONAP?
ONAP is a Linux Foundation Networking open source
project.
ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time,
policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and
virtual network functions that will enable software,
network, IT and cloud providers and developers to rapidly
automate new services and support complete lifecycle
management. (Source: onap.org)

ONAP differentiators
1. Real-time policy driven closed
loop automation
2. Simple to use design tool — does
not require engineers
3. Global SDN controller integrated
that allows for NFV and SDN
services
4. MEAO/MEPM functionality
5. k8s support
6. 5G use case
7. Open source

14. © 2019 Aarna Networks, Inc.
Benefits of an open source ONAP
1. Reference implementation for
open standards
2. High probability of meeting
operator requirements
3. Assured interop
4. Faster innovation
5. Roadmap influence
6. Reduced lock-in
7. Transparency

Aarna OOM
● Built on top of community OOM
● Use a model driven approach
○ Will work with CI/CD approach
● Make Day-0 installation easy, repeatable, reliable
○ Assume nodes are already provisioned with the right operating system
○ Allow flexibility in k8s reference architecture via OOM (or use customer provided
k8s)
○ Allow flexibility in subsets of ONAP projects utilized
○ Streamline ONAP configuration, healthchecks
● (Roadmap) Make Day-1 operations simpler as well
○ Reconfiguration, scaling, upgrades
○ k8s cluster changes
● Provide Easy-to-use GUI and API

● Use open community as a way
to establish interop
○ There aren’t enough industry
resources to do every permutation
of vendor interop
● Initial focus OVP and ETSI
Plugtests
○ June ETSI NFV Plugtests —
conducted testing with 5 VNF
vendors and 2 VIM vendors
○ Running Jan 2020 DDF Plugfest
