Name of Use Case:
ONAP Change Management
Use Case Authors:
AT&T
Description:
Change management (CM) activities usually constitute a significant chunk of Network Operations workload. From routine maintenance to new service upgrading with new features a lot of effort goes towards planned activities. Change related outages are also a leading cause of network downtime. Automating and standardizing the change management process is something that all operation teams will expect from any automation platform. Also it offers significant opportunities for cost savings and can lead to higher network reliability.
...
As a starting point we present a case for upgrading a vFW while in service, while trying to minimize customer impact. Ideally ONAP should allow Operation teams the ability to create/schedule/orchestrate changes across all VNF's/deployed services so we will be extremely interested n working with the vCPE and VoLTE use cases to define similar examples.
