  • This is one shot we get. Let's make it BIG!

  • Arpit's input:

  • LF GenAI Commons

    Byung-Woo Jun
        • (Thanks!!!),  and Toine Siebelink plans to provide his input for CPS
        • Ramesh's input for Policy:
          • Ericsson's new SMO offering is known as EIAP (Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform) where the non-Real time RIC features in that are provided by EIC (Ericsson Intelligent Controller) component. EIAP aims to provide advanced automation and orchestration capabilities for diverse RAN environments (both traditional and ORAN).

            Refer : https://www.ericsson.com/en/ran/intelligent-ran-automation/intelligent-automation-platform

            Policy-clamp component from ONAP Policy Framework plays a major role inside EIC functionality in EIAP. Policy-clamp is responsible for the lifecycle management of rApps in EIC. It works together with EIC adapter microservices for the complete lifecycle management of rApps.  

            Apart from this, EIAP is also interested to use the opa-pdp component from ONAP's Policy Framework in their coordination-management component . This is at the initial level of discussion at the moment. But opa-pdp has a strong potential to be used in the coordination-management use case. 

      • Huawei, @zhuguanyu , please summarize how Huawei uses ONAP

      • Capgemini, Viresh Navalli, please summarize how Capgemini uses ONAP 
      • Tata, please summerize how Tata uses ONAP
    • Emphasize the product integration of ONAP

    • Use headlines like: "From Control loops and Intent-based to full AI Orchestration and Management." 

    • Highlight security contributions, such as those provided during the OPS 5G project by US Government for Networking slicing

    TSC Strategy

    Byung-Woo Jun

    TSC

    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
