Would like to know if there are any OPEN API or ODA architecture available in NFV space for orchestration/activation?

@Maharaja Thangavel asks about Open APIs and ODA Components for NFV.

The ETSI Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) domain falls within the Resource Domain of TM Forum's Information Framework (SID) and the managed entities within NFV may be mapped to the Resource Domain Open APIs.  An NFV Network Service (NS) maps to a Resource Function which is managed with TMF664 Resource Function Activation and Configuration API. You will find this explained in the TMF664 User Guide and much more detailed description in TR255. An ETSI VNF also maps to a Resource Function. ODA use case TMFS025 describes managing CNFs, of which VNFs and ODA Components may be examples. ODA Component TMFC062 would be used for orchestrating ETSI NFV managed entities NS, VNF, etc..

Forward thinking telcos use GitOps and reject ETSI NFV.
