LFN Board Meeting Update - ONAP Evolution Proposal | Byung-Woo Jun LJ Illuzzi Ranny Haiby | The concept of elevating ONAP modules to semi-standalone entities was presented to the board and got positive feedback. One request that did come up was to clarify the evolution of the integration tests that are currently part of the ONAP-wide release process (will they still exist in some form to ensure interoperability between the independent modules?). The next step would be executing the necessary changes in the ONAP CI/CD system. I see that @Byung-Woo Jun already has a sessions planned for the ONAP DTF Day (https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/x/mICKBg) to discuss the next level of details. @LJ Illuzzi and I will of course support from the LF side. - Also, credits go to Ciaran Johnston and Christian Olrog
- Byung-Woo Jun,
At the ONAP DTF days, I plan to present the ONAP TSC roadmap and Architecture evolution, covering this concept. Working with DT and other ONAP participating companies, I have outlined how ONAP will enable the individual build and deployment of ONAP components under the ONAP Streamlining evolution; i.e., ONAP already supports these capabilities. The current OOM enhancements led by Andreas Geissler for ONAP CI/CD and ONAP architecture, leveraging Argo CD were tested during the Oslo release by DT and ARCCOM. Now, DT plans to contribute to ONAP CI/CD further by using both Argo CD and Flux during the Paris release. Additionally, China Telecom, China Mobile and DT have integrated several core ONAP components, referred to as Lightweight ONAP solutions, for their 5G and upcoming 6G. Over the past couple of years, under the ONAP Streamlining evolution led by me (Byung), we have established a solid foundation, which has proven to be valuable. Furthermore, ONAP TSC and ARCCOM have already discussed the possible integration solutions by leveraging individually built ONAP components. We are currently in the process of formalizing integration procedures and developing use cases for higher-level solutions. Additionally, I proposed the Runtime CI/CD for ONAP, and it will be part of my ONAP DTF Days presentations. I fully agree with this direction, and we are proud of the foundational work achieved through this evolution. More to come… We have seen the future 😊 I plan to present the evolution to the ONAP DTF Days, and I look forward to collaborating with you all. - Kudos to all ONAP contributors!!! Thanks!

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 and Flux based component independent deployment
- optimizing code for Flux
- DT is productizing 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) - Ramesh, Toine, Byung will invite Fiete to give him a list of work items for gold badging.
- 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 ; N.K. Shankaranarayanan, rAPP in SMO is monitoring energy; it is an industry trend.
- 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
