From the Paris release, TSC needs to discuss ONAP focus areas and strategies / roadmaps

• •  TSC members to add thoughts

Let's discuss more this year for Paris +

Brainstorm:

• Ensure ONAP core components are focused and operate independently, from build to runtime
  • DT finishs Argo-CD based component independent deployment
    • Argo-CD is a DT choice, but ONAP can allow other CDs, e.g., Flux (need contributors)
    • DT plans to productize some of the selected ONAP core components early next year in their TNAP production environment
  • Declarative and Intent-based component operations by the Repository-based Network Automation : see the ideas from ONAP Architecture Evolution - Ideas (November 2023)
• Make ONAP core components more autonomous and ready for use by both ONAP, LF and other external users
  • During New Delhi and Oslo releases, CPS and Policy achieved the OpenSSF Gold Badging status. Kudos to the team!
  • Continue to promote/facilitate other ONAP core components for the Gold Badging status (e.g., UUI, SDNC)
• Incorporate more GenAI capabilities and use cases to the ONAP components, and promote the adoption of open-source LLM models and frameworks aligned with LF AI & Data and GenAI Commons
  • Collaborate with LF AI & Data GenAI Commons and Nephio GenAI for 5G and 6G
  • Open-source based models and controls
  • AI-Based Control Loop
  • AI Model-As-A-Service 
• Foster inter-community collaboration with other LF communities, such as O-RAN and Nephio
  • SDNC enhancements (which is used by O-RAN OAM as is)
  • Resource-based Orchestration Pattern (leveraging CD and Operator)
• Ensure the security of ONAP components and operations 
  • The latest security mechanism for communications (service mesh enhancements leveraging Istio and coming Ambient Mesh)
  • Deprecate unused sub-components and mitigate security vulnerabilities
• Define a secure LFN CI/CD pipeline by leveraging OpenSSF-associated reference tools
