openo

Openo is a project focused on providing an open-source framework for developing and deploying Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) infrastructure. It aims to simplify the complexities associated with NFV by offering a set of tools and components that automate the lifecycle management of virtual network functions (VNFs) and their underlying infrastructure. The project is designed to be modular, allowing users to select and integrate specific components based on their needs.

The core of Openo revolves around enabling service providers and enterprises to deploy and manage virtualized network services more efficiently. It typically includes components for service orchestration, resource orchestration, and the management of VNFs. This allows for the dynamic instantiation, scaling, and termination of network services. Openo's architecture is often built on open standards and technologies, promoting interoperability and preventing vendor lock-in.

Key functionalities often found within Openo include VNF onboarding, service design, service instantiation, and monitoring. By providing a unified platform, Openo seeks to reduce operational costs and accelerate the delivery of new network services. The project encourages community contributions and aims to foster a collaborative ecosystem for NFV development. It is particularly relevant in scenarios where rapid deployment and flexibility of network services are critical.
