  • More flexible deployment in charts - esp simulators - easier to have configurable number of simulators etc

  • Issue with topology server

    • Still investigating .... Will talk with @Alex Stancu offline

  • Working with @James Li (as above) Issue may have been with Istanbul version? Currently updating

    • Can chat easier easier on Slack ? e.g. on https://onapproject.slack.com/archives/C01K8CNUJA2

Q&A

ONAP Use cases etc @N.K. Shankaranarayanan

• Want to make progress on A1 enhancements in ONAP Jakarta (Slicing / SON)

  • Will discuss on ONAP J usecases/requirements sub-committees next/coming weeks.

• ONAP RANSim vs OSC Simulators - Try bring together use cases across ONAP / OSC ?

  • ONAP RANSim based on Honeycomb, OSC O1 simulators based on Netopeer netconf servers  (All OSC O1 simulators based on same platform)

  • Different simulators have different focus - some on use-case logic vs interface/connectors.

  • Will hopefully be easier to mix & match deployments / use cases / simulators across OSC and ONAP should be easier as SMO deployments become more modular & composable.

  • Note also Sleeping Cell Simulator from Samsung in ONAP Integration (Marcin Krasowski, Pawel Slowikowski, Mateusz Zawadzki
