 Casablanca Release Notes
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 This page is the ONAP Casablanca Release Notes. The first release was labelled
 Amsterdam, second release Beijing and subsequent major release will be named
 using city names.

 * Release Name: Casablanca
 * Release Version: 3.0.0
 * Release Date: Nov 30, 2018


 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.

 Project Specific Release Notes
 ==============================
 ONAP releases are specified by a list of project artifact
 versions in a :ref:`manifest<doc-release-manifest>`.

 Each project provides detailed :ref:`release notes<doc-releaserepos>`
 and prepends to these if/when any updated versions the project team believes
 are compatible with a major release are made available.

 Installation
 ============
 There are 3 approaches to install ONAP:

 * :ref:`Installation using Kubernetes (aka OOM) <installing-onap-k8s>`.
   Recommended method.
 * :ref:`Installation using Heat template <installing-onap-heat>`.
 * :ref:`Advanced installation to install individual components
   <installing-onap-individual>`.

 Documentation
 =============
 ONAP Casablanca Release provides multiple documents including the following:

  * A high level :ref:`architecture view<doc-architecture>` of how components
    relate to each other.

  * A collection of documentation provided
    by :ref:`each project <doc_onap-developer_guide_projects>`.

  * Application Programming Interface
    Reference :ref:`available here <doc-apiref>`.

  * The `developer wiki <http://wiki.onap.org>`_ remains a good source of
    information on meeting plans and notes from committees, project teams and
    community events.
