G-Release

G-Release

The OAM project focus on the following topics:

Provide complete implementation for OAM functions (FCAPS).

Target

  • support of O-RAN WG10 VES message bodies

  • update of OAM-Controller to ODL version Sulfur

    • Note: team is discussion the possibility to switch from Java11 to Java17 - discussion ongoing

  • update to keycloak version 18

  • even more secure keycloak configuration

  • there is a request for a "bare-metal" deployment which is not in scope of O-RAN, but still useful - also for development and module test

  • support of AI/ML based on RSAC and other input.
