Chapter 1. Introduction
COURSE + CERTIFICATION BUNDLE
ONAP Fundamentals (LFS263) + COP Exam Bundle
Who Is It For
This certification is for engineers at service providers and enterprises who develop, deploy, and scale their networks and next-generation services, especially in light of the growth in 5G and edge computing.
The exam expects baseline understanding of the underlying cloud platform (e.g. Kubernetes and OpenStack) and minimal familiarity with modeling languages (e.g. Heat and TOSCA).

What You’ll Learn
This course provides conceptual and hands-on skills around ONAP, including the basics of Network Function Virtualization (NFV); an overview of ONAP architecture, subprojects, and use case blueprints; ONAP modeling overview; interfacing with ONAP; network service design, orchestration, and lifecycle management; the ONAP Policy framework; closed control loop automation; and troubleshooting. This is an online proctored exam that can take up to three hours to complete. The exam is performance-based and includes items simulating on-the-job scenarios.

What It Demonstrates
A successful COP candidate will demonstrate the ability to onboard Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), design and deploy network services, and configure VNFs. Additionally, candidates must have baseline understanding of closed-loop automation in terms of closed-loop design and runtime behavior. A candidate will also possess elementary troubleshooting capabilities to find issues with network services and closed-loops.

Prerequisites
This is a general course that targets designers, architects, and operators at Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and IT architects and administrators at enterprises. The course is also relevant for technologists at technology vendors.
- This course requires a basic understanding of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN).
- It also requires a basic knowledge of Linux equivalent to that obtained from the Introduction to Linux (LFS101x) course, which the Linux Foundation makes available on edX.
