+Abstract
+--------
+
+This document provides the release notes for Istanbul release.
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+Following DCAE components are available with default ONAP/DCAE installation.
+
+    - Platform components
+
+        - Cloudify Manager (helm chart)*
+        - Bootstrap container (helm chart)*
+        - Configuration Binding Service (helm chart)
+        - Deployment Handler (helm chart)*
+        - Policy Handler (helm chart*
+        - Service Change Handler (helm chart)*
+        - Inventory API (helm chart)*
+        - Dashboard (helm chart)*
+        - VES OpenAPI Manager (helm chart)
+
+    - Service components
+
+        - VES Collector (helm chart  & cloudify blueprint)
+        - HV-VES Collector (helm chart  & cloudify blueprint)
+        - PNF-Registration Handler  (helm chart  & cloudify blueprint)
+        - Docker based Threshold Crossing Analytics (TCA-Gen2) (helm chart  & cloudify blueprint)
+
+    - Additional resources that DCAE utilizes deployed using ONAP common charts:
+
+        - Postgres Database
+        - Mongo Database
+        - Consul Cluster
+
+    \*  These components will be retired next ONAP release as cloudify deployments will be diabled after Istanbul.
+ 
+
+Below service components (mS) are available to be deployed on-demand (helm chart & Cloudify Blueprint)
+
+ 	- SNMPTrap Collector
+ 	- RESTConf Collector
+ 	- DataFile Collector
+ 	- PM-Mapper
+ 	- BBS-EventProcessor
+ 	- VES Mapper
+ 	- Heartbeat mS
+ 	- SON-Handler
+ 	- PM-Subscription Handler
+ 	- DataLake Handler (Admin and Feeder)
+ 	- Slice Analysis mS
+ 	- DataLake Extraction Service
+ 	- KPI-Ms
+
+
+Under OOM all DCAE component containers are deployed as Kubernetes Pods/Deployments/Services into Kubernetes cluster.
+With DCAE tranformation to Helm in Istanbul release - all DCAE components are available to be deployed under Helm; Cloudify blueprint deployment is provided for backward compatibility support in this release.
+
+For Helm managed microservices, the dependencies/pre-requisite are identified on each charts individually. In general, most DCAE microservice rely on Consul/Configbindingservice for sourcing configuration updates (this dependency will be removed in next release). Each microservice can be deployed independently and based on dcaegen2-services-common template, features can be enabled or disabled via configuration override during deployment. For list of supported features in helm refer - :doc:`Using Helm to deploy DCAE Microservices <./dcaeservice_helm_template>`.
+
+DCAE continues to provides Cloudify deployment through plugins (cloudify) that is capable of expanding a Cloudify blueprint node specification for a service component to a full Kubernetes specification, with additional enhancements such as replica scaling, sidecar for logging to ONAP ELK stack.

+
+
+*Known Vulnerabilities*
+
+None
+
+*Workarounds*
+
+Documented under corresponding jira if applicable.

+Security Notes
+--------------
+
+*Fixed Security Issues*
+
+    Documented on earlier section
+
+*Known Security Issues*
+
+    None
+
+*Known Vulnerabilities in Used Modules*
+
+    None
+
+DCAE code has been formally scanned during build time using NexusIQ and all Critical vulnerabilities have been addressed, items that remain open have been assessed for risk and determined to be false positive. The DCAE open Critical security vulnerabilities and their risk assessment have been documented as part of the `project <https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=51282478>`_.
