Rich Bennett1959f682018-06-14 10:50:31 -040011
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.
