| A&AI | - Functional Updates | Enhanced functionality for CCVPN and Network Slicing use case. The ability to control the CRUD interactions by client as part of the configurable multi-tenancy work. Enhanced User interface allowing users to browse, filter, and create dynamic complex queries with a visual builder. The User interface is schema-driven and can output results in card, table, visual, and downloadble formats. Enhanced visualizations of the model with enhancements in GraphGraph including attribute descriptions in Papyrus. Ease of maintenance since the AAI footprint was lessened, technologies updated, and code coverage increased. |

| MultiCloud | Functional Updates | REQ-458: Refined Configuration API allows for flexible modification of the CNF configuration. Configuration API allows to create, modify and delete k8s resource templates and it allows their parameterization base on dedicated or inherited from the CNF instance input parameters. REQ-458: Query API allows for the gathering of the filtered out the status of CNF what can be helpful to get precise information for particular resources belonging to the CNF. Query API produces results in the same format as Status API that offers the full set of information about CNF status. REQ-458: HealthCheck API allows for the execution of dedicated healthcheck jobs (similar to helm test operation) that can verify on demand the current status of the CNF. The API can be used also to retrieved the results of healthcheck job execution, which can be extended with Status/Query API |

| SDC | Functional Updates :
Non functional Updates :
| Enhance SDC compliance with ETSI standards, especially in VNF/CNF models,onboarding. Improved package signature checks (SOL007 package security). SDC now allows for un-licensed or externally licensed packages to be onboarded. SDC UI now provides better visibility on artifact distribution status per component Vulnerability and security improvements |
| SO | SO is split to multiple repos and no major change in the existing functionality of the SO has been brought in. SO is now based on Java 11. | Refactoring the internal architecture for betterment of the build time, issue resolution, lesser footprint and production readiness. |

| OOF SON | In this release, we mainly focused on testing the SON use case functionality with Honolulu release components, in particular the scenario wherein an offline trained ML-model provides additional inputs for Physical Cell Identity (PCI) optimization. | The basic framework for supporting ML-based SON is now supported. The framework also supports easy onboarding, and use of (offline trained) ML-models. This can be further enhanced based on service provider requirements. |
E2E Network Slicing | In this release, we have made some functional enhancements to NSMF, RAN NSSMF and Transport NSSMF. Further, various scenario combinations w.r.to Slice instance and slice sub-net instances allocation were tested and several gaps/bugs were addressed particularly for the deployment option in which all 3 NSSMFs are inside ONAP. End-to-end testing of Closed Loop and Intelligent Slicing was also performed. In this release, this use case has started using the CPS component in a limited way for RAN related configuration. | Different deployment options are now supported successfully which enables service providers to have the flexibility of using ONAP providing all Slice Management Functions or to integrate (domain)specific 3rd party NSSMFs with ONAP. |
| PNF software upgrade with schema update | In this release, we have made some functional enhancements to PNF software version with schema update procedure. | A schema update in relation to a xNF software upgrades is a routine for network upgrade to support new xNF features, improve efficiency or increase xNF capacity on the field, and to eliminate bugs. This use case provides to ONAP an advantage in orchestrating and managing the Life Cycle of a Network Services in-line with business and service objectives. In Rel 8, the feature will be enhanced with PNF sw version management during sw upgrade procedure. |
| CCVPN | In this release, two enhancements have been made. First, we have enhanced Transport Slicing by making it support modifying and reusing the existing TN NSSIs. Secondly, we enhanced CCVPN use-case to support multiple (3+) network domains. | Modification of existing TN NSSI is a required NSI life cycle operation defined by 3GPP. By supporting this operation, all the NSI life cycle operations are now supported by TN NSSMF. The support for multiple network domains are necessary to make the CCVPN use-case more generic and robust. |
| PMSHPM Data Collection Control: Subscription update | In this release, we have made some functional enhancements to PMSH function. Two functions are enhanced: Filter update with resource name and Modify Measurement Parameters. | PM data collection control provides network operators with a dynamic and more efficient way to configure performance measurement collection on a selected subset of PNFs/VNFs in the network and complements the existing PM data collection and processing capabilities in ONAP/DCAE. An initial version has been delivered in Rel 6 (REQ-129) then enhanced in Rel 7 (REQ-381). Planned enhancements for Rel 8 intend to improve the (PMSH) subscription management about subscription update. |

| K8s cloud region | Enhanced Day-2 operations for CNF (REQ-458) | New functionalities deliver a set of mechanism for building custom functionality required for verification of the status of CNF after its deployment. Also, we expose a powerful mechanism for reconfiguration of the CNF or for its customization after the instantiation that in particular can be used for upgrading the instance of the CNF. |
