The Network Operating System virtualized services, with the ability to configure, manage, and administer them in real time. The ONAP software is the VNF automation platform implementation of this vision, and ONAP portal is the access to manage these virtualized networks and services. The ONAP portal provides a uniform web-based interface to all of the applications within ONAP. Think of the portal as a control panel or framework, which the individual ONAP applications "plug into," in a way that is transparent to the users of the portal. As shown in Figure 7.6, the ONAP portal serves many different communities: those who admin- ister, manage, and configure the network; those who operate and monitor it-eventually, even end users, who can use the portal for self-service via the web. It provides a uniform, consistent interface to the users of ONAP applications, and at the same time, it frees the developers of these applications from having to worry about applications other than their own. Because there are many different kinds of users with different needs, privileges, and responsibilities, the portal adapts itself based on who is using it, presenting just those functions and applications to which the particular user is allowed access. The ONAP portal is actually more than just a framework or control panel; it is also a toolkit software that makes it easy to create ONAP applications. Industry-standard open-source software is used-Java, common relation
