Q/A

• Former user (Deleted)Is OSC taking ONAP as its SMO
  
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Martin Skorupski N.K. ShankaranarayananFormer user (Deleted)

    • OSC SMO Project Building some SMO functions, along with OAM functions in OAM, Non-RT-RIC functions in NONRTRIC project

    • An SMO can then be assembled for given use cases etc.
    • OSC it/dep repo contains several such integration environments/usecase/deployments - including one with lots of ONAP functions (along with functions from the OSC projects: OAM, SMO, SIM, O-DU, NONRTRIC)
    • Where a function already exists in ONAP - or other projects - it makes sense to reuse them to avoid community fragmentation & duplication
