ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven service orchestration and automation. ONAP enables service providers and developers to rapidly automate the instantiation and configuration of physical and virtual network functions and to support complete life cycle management activities. By unifying the resources of open source members, ONAP enables the acceleration of the development of a vibrant ecosystem around a globally shared architecture and the implementation of network automation faster than any product could on its own. Please find some guidance here on the content of ONAP documentation: +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Main documentation areas | Description | +=================================================================================+===============================================================================================+ | :ref:`Release Notes ` | The Release Notes besides providing the basic information on the main release, also | | | presents link to the release information of each, specific ONAP component. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`ONAP Overview ` | ONAP Overview provides generic and high-level guidance on the mission and main | | | functionalities of ONAP.
