Overview:

ONAP (Open Networking Automation Platform) is an open source platform for orchestrating and automating physical and virtual network elements. ONAP originated from OpenECOMP and Open-Orchestrator (Open-O) and is managed by The Linux Foundation.

In this instructor-led, live training (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use ONAP to automate networking services for large-scale workloads.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Install and configure ONAP.
  • Carry out real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions.
  • Design, create, orchestrate, and monitor VNFs, SDNs and other network services.
  • Efficiently manage the entire networking lifecycle using a software-driven approach.
  • Develop, deploy, and scale a network using the latest open source technologies and practices.

Format of the Course

  • Interactive lecture and discussion.
  • Lots of exercises and practice.
  • Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Course Customization Options

  • This training is based on the latest version of ONAP.
  • Consulting services are also available to implement and troubleshoot ONAP within your organization.
