CNF Taskforce Meeting Minutes
...
1.1.1 Evolving from VNFs to CNFs
1.1.2 ONAP as a CNFO
- Hybrid services CNF/VNF/PNF, leveraging open-source
and standards- Support Greenfield and Brownfield environment
- E.g., CNF on bare-metal, CNF on VM, VNF on VM, PNF
- Day 0/1/2 configuration
- Not just infrastructure orchestration
- Configuration and Update
- Standard alignment (ETSI, 3GPP) and beyond (ASD)
- Evolve existing investment, no need to start from scratch
- Common Infrastructure for model/package onboarding, design and distribution
- Support both ETSI-Aligned and Cloud Native Orchestration
- 5G slicing use case – 3GPP compliant
1.2 ONAP as a Cloud Native application
TODO: Break digram into two sections.
1.2.1 Relationship with SDOs
1.3.1 ETSI-NFV - Alignment on packaging
...
- Application Service Descriptor (ASD) - the modelling and packaging approach for CNFs, rAPP/xApps.
- O-RAN: ASD solution
1.2.2 Alignment and integration with other Open Source
...

5. FAQ
Q: What is the value-add of ONAP for CNF orchestration (CNFO)? What does it provide on top of K8S?
...
- No integration with C&PS, but it may happen at a later stage. But this is a good approach and may be discussed further in the CNF Taskforce.
Q: Does the CNF Orchestration support only Openstack VF-Module?
A:
- VF Module is the design aspect of the SDC, we represent each helm with a VFM. The current processing is per VFM for CNF as it is with the other resources
