ONAP Beijing Release Developer Forum

The purpose of ONAP is to be an open source software platform that delivers capabilities for the design, creation, orchestration, monitoring, and lifecycle management of VNFs and network services. A key component of ONAP architecture is the Service Design Center (SDC) that acts as both Consumer of ONAP-ready VNF data models and Provider of ONAP-ready Service data models. Data modeling may have different requirements depending on the perspective of the ONAP components. This talk will focus on the SDC perspective and how it impacts the data modeling approach, and will provide an update on the progress made to align the OpenECOMP data model to the ONAP R2 information model, gaps uncovered, and early proposals on use of TOSCA SimpleYAML v1.2, vs TOSCA NFV profile, vs new extensions. The talk also includes proposals on how to feed back enhancements into standards organizations.
