1. Information Model Layering
Food for thought – ONAP R2

2. Personas Those who use ONAP Those who manage ONAP
Customers (end-users) – use network services
Customer Administrators/Operators – manage network service instances that belong to them
Those who manage ONAP
Administrators – make policies and rules
Operators – enforce policies and rules
Those who develop for ONAP
VNF DevOps – build and package VNF
Service Provider DevOps – build and package network services

3. Information We Need To Manage
Managed Entities/Groupings
Users/Tenants/Parties
Roles/Rights/Privileges
Policies/Rules/Quotas/Constraints
Products/Catalogs/Entitlements
Packages/Images
Services/Service Components
Service Requirements
