Support for ETSI NFV NFVO  Orchestrator in ONAP SO (ONAP SO ETSI-Aligned Hierarchical Orchestration)

Executive Summary - Enable E2E workflows by orchestrating ETSI NFV compliant Network Services and VNFs. This NFVO should provide an ETSI NFV SOL005 v2.7.1 NBI which can onboard ETSI NFV SOL004 and ETSI NFV  SOL007 v2.7.1 compliant packages which then can be Life Cycle Managed and monitored. This NFVO should use an ETSI SOL003 v2.7.1 SBI to invoke an external VNF Manager. 

Business Impact - Enables operators and service providers to use Industry standard Orchestration to deploy, manage and monitor network services. Industry compatibility.

Business Markets - All operators and service providers that are developing ETSI compatible Network Services especially for 5G Slicing where each Slice Subnet is associated with a Network Service 

Funding/Financial Impacts - Reduction in operations expense from using industry standard ETSI Orchestration.

Organization Mgmt, Sales Strategies -There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this requirement outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
