The new UI development will happen in a separate repo. Current UI can be +switched when ready without having any impact on running OSM development work (since UI is +dependent on the NBI APIs only) + +Features: +Over and above the existing features, we will also bring in first support for OpenStack. Since the +framework is extensible, we can also bring in support for other VIMs as we go along. +Metrics from Prometheus +World class UX design for a elegant B2B experience + +## Demo or definition of done ## +Testing all the existing use cases and flows supported by current UI
