• 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

• Updated ONAP Main Page update with Oslo.
  • ONAP Wiki 
  • The Architecture Overview for Oslo link does not work
  • louis li, and LT plan to update the onap.org site for the oslo release.

  • Byung-Woo Jun, Paris architecture will address this update.

• Under Oslo we recommended Java 11.0.21, accepted Java 17.0.10 Target 17.0.12 and possible use of 21.

  We need to figure out what java versions we are running now in ONAP. If Dan is not making interface changes, moving to Java 21 is not a problem. Andreas is checking with Marek if he could run the scans that would expose information about each project java version used.

  AP Pawel - to check if we can get this info from Nexus-IQ directly.

  Andreas provided the list of the Java versions per project. versions_reporting.html ONAP-Component-Java-Versions_Reporting..pdf
