Release 0 Change Log

Advancements Since the MWC '16 End-to-End Service Instantiation Demo

This section summarises the advancements that have been made in OSM since the MWC '16 End-to-End Service Instantiation Demo

Release 0 makes a number of important steps forward since the MWC’16 demo and provides a solid platform on which to develop release 1 which will be an OSM community initiative.

An important topic for OSM is to improve the user experience and the ease by which VNF vendors can develop data models for on-boarding in OSM which is why many of the advancements for R0 relate to this topic.

• R0 presents a simplified on-boarding process by developing a single entry point for VNF and NS packages.
• The VNF and NS descriptors are now easier to read with the move to YAML format for the descriptors, replacing UUIDs with meaningful names, moving embedded scripts in the descriptors into packages and separating out default values and initial configuration.
• The code base for R0 is entirely Apache 2.0 licensed with some external dependencies removed.
• Significant effort has been put into comprehensive set of publically available documentation covering the:
  • Data model in detail
  • Minimal infrastructure requirements
  • Installation guides,
  • How-to guides for users and developers
  • Technical briefings
  • Videos
  • OSM tool suite, and the
  • Software Development Lifecycle.
