| Open Network Automation Platform |
| ================================ |
| |
| Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) is an open source project hosted by |
| the Linux Foundation. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Please find some guidance here on the content of ONAP documentation: |
