• Shankar presented this last week. This is the latest slide deck, ONAP, O-RAN SC, Nephio collaboration on O-RAN SMO, ONAP-OSC-SMO-slide_Jan2025_v1.pptx

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 +

Any questions or feedback? 

Byung-Woo Jun presented the brainstorm at the TSC meeting this week.

Brainstorm:

• Ensure ONAP core components are focused and operate independently, from build to runtime
  • DT finishes 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 - 2025.pdf
• 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 
  • ETSI ISG NFV compliance for AI?
• 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)
  • Energy saving / monitoring 
• 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

PTLs

• LF IT migrating CI pipeline to GitHub actions - may take to the end of fall or later, once ONAP is completed for GitHub Actions , we will do security review. Last update from Matt is that LF IT is continuously shipping one project at a time. 

  4/2: in progress

  At the TSC Jess mentioned Q4'24? or rather beginning of 2025.

• What is the current status of this?
• Kevin Sandi, the LF Team, Matt and Kevin, plans to work on this; Please update the status
• Kevin Sandi, and team will start soon (following week?)
