Noemi Wagnerf3d08c02018-11-30 10:22:09 +010012ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven service
13orchestration and automation. ONAP enables service providers and developers
14to rapidly automate the instantiation and configuration of physical and
15virtual network functions and to support complete life cycle management
16activities. By unifying the resources of open source members, ONAP enables
17the acceleration of the development of a vibrant ecosystem around a globally
18shared architecture and the implementation of network automation faster than
19any product could on its own.
20
21The ONAP Platform architecture is built on the highly efficient cooperation of
22Design-time Framework activities with the functions provided by the
23Run-time Framework. The Design-time Framework defines resources, services
24and products, creates and manages processes and policies, provides a single
25platform for deploying and defining instantiation management besides many
26other activities. The Run-time framework manages the full lifecycle of
27networks, services, resources, topology, orchestrates delivery, provides
28monitoring via analytics and controls activities for applications and
29virtual functions.
30
31ONAP platform activities are supported by the Microservices support
32system and by the ONAP Portal.
