Charmed OSM is an open source, model driven orchestrator for telco network functions maintained by Canonical.

OSM brings model driven operations to a standards-based MANO, from the instantiation to the deletion, allowing day1 and day2 configuration, healing, scaling or closed loop automation of the Network Functions. As a community-led project, OSM delivers a production-quality MANO stack that meets operators’ requirements for commercial NFV deployments.

Due to the standardization of Information models, OSM is a single pane of glass for orchestration and configuration of virtualized and cloud-native network functions (PNFs, VNFs and CNFs) provided by any vendor. It is agnostic of the cloud where the network functions will be deployed for example public clouds (AWS, Azure and GCP), private clouds (Openstack, K8s clusters).

Telecommunications Service Providers (TSPs) will get one tool to facilitate the management of their Telco cloud and accelerating the migration of Network Functions. VNF vendors can standardize the onboardings making it easier and quick to reuse deployment of their Network Functions in new environments. Finally, System Integrators will also benefit from the easy and repeatable installation and will have a single tool for orchestration of multi vendor workloads on multi VIM environments which makes integration of solution easier.
