Rich Bennett1959f682018-06-14 10:50:31 -040012
Noemi Wagnerf3d08c02018-11-30 10:22:09 +010013ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven service
14orchestration and automation. ONAP enables service providers and developers
15to rapidly automate the instantiation and configuration of physical and
16virtual network functions and to support complete life cycle management
17activities. By unifying the resources of open source members, ONAP enables
18the acceleration of the development of a vibrant ecosystem around a globally
19shared architecture and the implementation of network automation faster than
20any product could on its own.
