What is this release trying to address?
This release of OOF addresses a core ONAP requirement, which is Homing/placement of VNFs and Services (VNF Homing Capability). Homing/placement and allocation of resources is one of the fundamental requirements of provisioning a service over the cloud (or even non-cloud) infrastructure. OF-HAS is an policy-driven placement optimizing service (or homing service) that allows ONAP to deploy services automatically across multiple sites and multiple clouds. It enables placement based on a wide variety of policy constraints including capacity, location, platform capabilities, and other service specific requirements.
More details on HAS can be found here: Homing and Allocation Service (HAS)
