.. Open Source MANO documentation master file.

Welcome to Open Source MANO's documentation!
=============================================

`Open Source MANO (OSM) <https://osm.etsi.org>`_ is an ETSI-hosted open source community delivering a
production-quality MANO stack for NFV, capable of consuming openly published information models,
available to everyone, suitable for all VNFs, operationally significant and VIM-independent.
OSM is aligned to NFV ISG information models while providing first-hand feedback based on its
implementation experience.
