Documentation	For the Frankfurt release the doc team has provided Improved end to end user guides. A refined release note template to be used by all projects in ONAP. To ensure a common way of how to provide the release notes from a content such a look and feel perspective. In addition the documentation project continuously work with improving processes and tools for documentation. Enabling the community to as easy as possible document all the aspects of the ONAP platform. During the Frankfurt release cycle we have started the work to clean up available content, both on the wiki and readthedocs (docs.onap.org) as well as moving the documentation away from submodules according to the LFN documentation strategy.

Integration	Daily and Gating chains, that were introduced in El Alto, have been improved especially from a security perspective. Since January, we performed more than 6000 installations and performed more than, 25,000 tests on 2 infrastructure (Orange + Azure) We integrated a security category addressing - Infrastructure CIS, vulnerability tests - Check of the public end points - Chase rooted pods - Exclude any open debug java port The Frankfurt version will be much more secure than any version before (heavy work from OOM team - hardcoded password removing, templating, removing on certificates in pods). Moreover as we put in place these tests in CI, it is now possible to measure the progress in this area, which is key for production use. This version was the first version when we delineated between an experimental orchestration solution (used for cutting edge demos) and production grade features (requiring a better architecture, stability, security,..). Testing remains an area of improvement though some projects have already refactored their healthcheck test suites.

Policy	New Features: Policy Update Notifications - When versions of policies are deployed/undeployed, an update notification is sent on Dmaap topic so that clients (DCAE in particular) can make Decision API call to get the latest policy that they should be enforcing. Native Policy Support for each PDP was implemented. Now users can use the APIs to create policies specific to a PDP such as Drools Rules, XACML XML policies and Apex policies. Consolidated the health check of all the components into the PAP. Previously each component had to be queried for health status, now a single call to the PAP can retrieve the health of all the components. NOTE: This does not include legacy components Configurable Pre-loading and pre-deployment of policies. When ONAP is brought up, the user can configure a set of default policies that can be created and deployed. Enhancements to Lifecycle APIs Added a new simplified API to create one or more policies in a single API call. Enhancements to PAP Deployment API's Fetch policy deployment status: Clients will be able to poll the PAP API to find out when policies have been successfully or unsuccessfully deployed to the PDP's. A new API available for Create and Update PDP Groups A new API is introduced to deploy policies on specific PDPGroups Statistics for XACML and Apex PDP components enhanced. Policy Distribution now uses the Lifecycle API and PAP deployment API to auto create and deploy policies upon service distribution. The legacy API's support were removed. XACML PDP New Features: Decision API for monitoring policies was enhanced to support an abbreviated list of policies. Decision API now supports naming policies for CCSDK project. Decision API now supports a closest match algorithm for optimization policies and enhancements were made to better support policies with "matchable" properties. Drools PDP New Features Support for offline mode which allows users to run drools in a locked environment. Parameterize mvn repo urls and proxy settings which allows the users to build the docker images for drools-pdp and drools-application using their own CI pipelines. New Controller TOSCA Policy Type support so users can configure controllers during Design Time. Telemetry API enhanced to support Native and Controller TOSCA Policy Types. Apex PDP New Features Multiple Policy Deployment now supported Apex now sends the Statistics data in every heartbeat sent to PAP CDS as an actor in Control Loops is now fully supported. Introduced in Dublin, the new actor is now available to be used in Operational policies. Maintenance and Security All components were upgraded to JDK 11 Many dependencies were upgraded to clear known security issues and/or to keep up with improvements in 3rd party libraries. For a full listing, see release notes. Hard coded passwords were removed from the components. Now readable from environment variables allowing OOM charts to use secrets for setting passwords. Feature Improvements Treatment of PASSIVE state for PDPs: If a PDP fails to deploy one or more policies specified in a PDP-UPDATE message, PAP will undeploy those policies that failed to deploy to the PDP. This entails removing the policies from the Pdp Group(s), issuing new PDP-UPDATE requests, and updating the notification tracking data. Improvements in validation of Policy Types and Policies Fixes for Policy Versioning When retrieving a Policy Type, inherited policy types are now included in the API call along with referenced Data Types. Control Loop Operational and Guard TOSCA Policy Types were defined and implemented. The legacy yaml is still supported, but will be deprecated in the next release. Deployed API removed from API and now is supported in the PAP Control Loop actor code was re-designed and cleaned up enabled faster integration of new actors and operations for control loops. Control Loop Events were enhanced to support rate limiting of ONSET events to control the flooding of events from DCAE analytics. Drools PDP Improvements The Drools Rules were simplified for ease of debugging. XACML PDP Improvements Support for PASSIVE Mode Now returns error when a policy cannot be loaded Apex PDP Improvements Changed JavaScript executor from Nashorn to Rhino as part of Java 11 upgrade. Passing parameters from ApexConfig to policy logic. Added support for interaction with CDS over gRPC Experimental New PDP Monitoring GUI is available for experimental use to view PDP groups and the PDPs in those groups. Users can visualize the heartbeat, statistics, and health of the PDPs in each group. Drools PDP a new server pool implemented was contributed.

Use Case Blueprint	Key Updates	Benefits
5G	5G use case covers a few independent use cases which improves the ONAP capabilities on PNF management. Key use cases which are supported in ONAP Frankfurt release: PNF software version onboarding PNF sotware upgrade Using direct Netconf/Yang interface with PNF PNF sotware upgrade Using Ansible protocol with EM PNF sotware upgrade using Netconf/Yang interface with EM PNF PNP enhancement E2E Network Slicing O-RAN Harmonization PNF Plug & Play with Netconf execution
E2E Network Slicing (a new E2E use case for Frankfurt, we'd also like to apply to publish a separate Blueprint White Paper for E2E Network Slicing use case, same as the community did for other use cases in every release)	5G Network Slicing is one of the key features of 5G. The essence of Network Slicing is in sharing network resources (PNFs, VNFs, CNFs) while satisfying widely varying and sometimes seemingly contradictory requirements to different customers in an optimal manner. Same network is expected to provide different Quality of Experience to different consumers, use case categories and industry verticals including factory automation, connected home, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, remote healthcare, in-stadium experience and rural broadband. An End-to-End Network Slice consists of RAN, Transport and Core network slice sub-nets. This Use Case intends to demonstrate the modeling, orchestration and assurance of a simple network slice (e.g. eMBB). While 3GPP standards are evolving and 5G RAN and core are being realized, this Use Case will start with realizing an E2E Network Slice with a simple example of a 5G RAN, Core and Transport Network Slice sub-nets. It will also align with relevant standard bodies (e.g., 3GPP, ETSI, TM Forum) as well as other open initiatives such as O-RAN where relevant, with respect to both interfaces as well as the functional aspects. Key features in Frankfurt: Tenants and network operators can order slice-based services Enables network slice creation as well as reuse Supports many of the slice lifecycle management operations Key capabilities added for ONAP Frankfurt release: ONAP Frankfurt provides basic capabilities for Network Slice Orchestration Supports Network Slice lifecycle operations of E2E Slice Design and Creation, Activation, Deactivation and Termination Provides CSMF and NSMF functionality implemented within ONAP Supports E2E Slice design including design of Communication Service, Service Profile and Network Slice Template Supports selection of suitable NST and suitable NSI, covering the scenario of new NSI creation by providing suitable slice profile Interacts with an external Core NSSMF This use case is a multi release effort and we will continue to provide more enhancements and features based on what we've implemented in Frankfurt in the subsequent releases.	The ONAP based E2E Network Slicing solution allows a service provider to manage the slices and its constituents by leveraging ONAP existing capabilities. enables the slice-consumer to request for and activate a network slice on-demand without being concerned about network internals, which is very essential for industry-vertical An operation guidance will be provided on ONAP wiki in which explicit instructions are provided to help any interested parties to experience ONAP based E2E Network slicing management.
PNF software upgrade without schema update	PNF software updates are routine for network upgrades to support new features, improve efficiency or increase capacity on the field, and to eliminate bugs. This use case positions ONAP as a vantage point in orchestrating and managing PNF software upgrades inline with the business and service objectives. Deployment and orchestration of new network services over both VNFs and PNFs in a model and software driven way simplifies the network management. As 5G networks will host a large number of PNFs from multiple vendors, streamlining service upgrades that involve PNF software changes through ONAP will reduce the OPEX substantially. The following upgrade scenarios are supported in ONAP Frankfurt release: PNF sotware upgrade Using direct Netconf/Yang interface with PNF PNF sotware upgrade Using Ansible protocol with EM PNF sotware upgrade using Netconf/Yang interface with EM
PNF software version onboarding	PNF software version onboarding is a key feature to onboard the vendor provide PNF software version into the ONAP internal PNF descriptor. This PNF software version information will be used by ONAP Run Time components for the purpose of PNF life cycle management.
CCVPN	Adding two extension functions / sub use cases for Frankfurt. End-to-end E-LINE services across the domains over OTN NNI handover. The Frankfurt demonstration includes L1(OTN) and L2(ETH) Topology discovery from multiple domains controllers with in an operator and provide VPN service provision in OTN and ETH network. Use case specific developments have been realized in SO, OOF, A&AI, SDN-C and U-UI components Multi-Domain Optical Network Service(MDONS). The MDONS sub use-case aims to automate the design, activation & operations resulting from an optical transport (L0/L1) service request exchange between service providers and/or independent operational entities within a service provider network by delivering E2E optical orchestration capabilities into ONAP.Use case specific developments have been realized in SDC, SO, A&AI, SDN-C and U-UI components	E-LINE over OTN NNI extends upon the CCVPN use case by incorporating support for L1/L2 network management capabilities leveraging open standards& common data models such as the IETF ACTN-based transport YANG models. MDONS extends upon the CCVPN use-case by incorporating support for L0/L1 end customer services that span service provider domains, with a plan to support inter-carrier optical services. MDONS defines a unified optical service model based upon OpenROADM, T-API, MEF 63, and MEF 64 models, and allows integration of optical domain controllers using either the Open ROADM or TAPI service models.
BBS	In Frankfurt, the BBS team focused mainly on bug fixes, improving the BBS use case multi-vendor support and documentation. This is based on feedback received from many showcases during the previous ONAP releases. The BBS use case continues providing inputs to standardization bodies like BBF (Broadband Forum) in the context of the CloudCO framework interfaces definition.	1. Establishment of a subscriber's HSIA (High Speed Internet Access) service from an ONT to the Internet drain 2.
