v5.1 (2020-01-08)

This release contains the following improvements:

• The reconfiguration workflow is now exposed through the northbound interface.

• Forwarding of cidr data from descriptors towards infrastructure adapter.

v5.0 (2019-09-06)

This release adds the following features and improvements:

• Dynamic network creation based on service requirements, instead of static creation
• Running services can now (partially) be migrated from one PoP to another
• During a migration event, the state can be migrated between VNFs
• Running services can now be scaled in or out multiple VNF instances at a time
• Container-based VNFs are supported for all available workflows
• Service flavors are supported
• Improved support for traffic steering between VNFs, and between a VNF and a service endpoint
• The placement logic now also considers the networking side in its optimization calculations, including QoS requirements
• The mapping of a service on the infrastructure can be provided as input with a service instantiation request
• Installation script to deploy a standalone version of the MANO Framework
• Python-based client library to consume API of standalone MANO Framework
• Removal of plugin manager, placement executive and scaling executive because obsolete
• Reduce size of the MANO Framework containers
• bugfixes

v4.0

Release notes

• Northbound API extension with a scaling API: It is now possible to request a scaling event of a running NS
• Policy based placement: the Placement Plugin takes placement policies from NS developers, customers and the operator into consideration when calculating the optimal placement.
• ILP based algorithm: The generic placement algorithm is formulated and solved as an ILP problem.
• The SSM mechanism was extended so that it can now make scaling and migration requests to the MANO Framework.
• Improved ENV variable handling.
• CI/CD done through Jenkins pipeline.
• Minor bugfixes.

v3.1 (2018-04-23)

• Increase flexibility of SSM / FSM mechanism
• Fix minor bugs

v3.0 (2017-09-01)

New features included in this release are the following:

• Addition of the Function Lifecycle Manager (FLM) MANO plugin, which handles the lifecycle of VNFs;
• Addition of the Placement MANO plugin, which handles placement requests for services;
• Support for start, stop, configure and scaling Function Specific Managers;
• Support for configure and monitoring Service Specific Managers;
• The SLM registers as micro-service with the Gatekeeper, allowing it to fetch descriptors;
• Implementation of the termination workflow, that allows to terminate a running service;
• General traffic between MANO plugins is shielded from Service and Function Specific Managers;
• VNF chaining and Wan configuration support from the MANO Framework;
• Support for RabbitMQ virtual host and user creation by SMR;
• Support for assigning the virtual hosts and users to SSMs/FSMs;
