What we do
The STF 586 develops, enhances and maintains the OpenAPI representations
of existing and new NFV-MANO API specifications. In particular, multiple
versions of NFV Release 2 and Release 3 API specifications are targeted:
• SOL002, SOL003 and SOL005 v2.7.1, v3.4.1, v3.5.1
• SOL009, SOL011 and SOL012 v3.4.1, v3.5.1

of Reference
Why we do it
The ETSI NFV specifications are referenced and used by operators,
vendors and open source communities involved in NFV deployments.
However, the availability of representations of the ETSI NFV API
specifications in the OpenAPI specification language is essential to
faster integration of these APIs in industry products. Moreover, this
form of machine-processable specifications is essential to automate the
development of API conformance test suites.
How we do it
The STF 586 will identify the main OpenAPI relevant differences among
subsequent SOL specification versions and will translate them into
updates to the related OpenAPI representations. Continuous maintenance
and bug fixing cycles will also be implemented to consolidate the
produced OpenAPI representations.
The work of the STF 586 will rely and leverage on the results and
outcomes of the STF 563 “OpenAPI Specifications for NFV”, which
partially run in parallel. A close collaboration and coordination with
the STF 563 will be therefore provided by the STF Leader.
Deliverables
The OpenAPI specifications for NFV produced by the STF 586 will be
contributed to RMI/NFV-SOL008ed2020 work item of ISG NFV.
Time plan
The STF 586 plans to deliver:
• OpenAPI representations for SOL002, SOL003,
SOL005 specifications v2.7.1 by the end of March 2020
• OpenAPI representations for SOL002, SOL003, SOL005
specifications v3.4.1 by the end of May 2020
• OpenAPI representations for SOL002, SOL003, SOL005
specifications v3.5.1 by the end of July 2020
• OpenAPI representations for SOL009, SOL011, SOL012
specifications v3.4.1 by the end of October 2020
• OpenAPI representations for SOL009, SOL011, SOL012
specifications v3.5.1 by the end of December 2020
