ETSI’s Open Source MANO (OSM) initiative has released the availability of its Release 0 code package that is able to deliver working code that enables end-to-end service instantiation. OSM Release 0 integrates the seed code supplied by Telefonica, RIFT.io, Canonical and others, into a documented package of running code.
As for the roadmap for Release 1, which is expected within six months, it will include plans to extend current multi-VIM (Virtualized Infrastructure Manager) and multi-site support, as well as further additions to service modelling and Enhanced Platform Aware resource allocation.
ETSI OSM was established to deliver an open source NFV Management and Orchestration (MANO) stack using best-in-class open source workflows and tools to ensure rapid development and delivery. The activity is closely aligned with the evolution of ETSI NFV and will provide a regularly updated reference implementation of NFV MANO. OSM enables an eco-system of NFV solution vendors to rapidly and cost-effectively deliver solutions to their users.

Service providers are encouraged by the collaborative and pragmatic approach which has enabled OSM to deliver very rapid results. We now need to build on what has been achieved and ensure OSM remains responsive to service provider’s needs.
