OSM Release FIFTEEN introduces significant enhancements to Network Service lifecycle management, including new support for Service Function Chaining and a cancel operation for pending actions. The release adds dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support to the SOL003 VNFM API and extends Service Assurance capabilities to gather resource metrics from Google Cloud VMs for auto-healing and scaling. Installation is streamlined by leveraging upstream Helm charts for dependencies like Kafka and MongoDB, while Juju support is made optional to prepare for future discontinuation. Additionally, the testing pipeline now includes regular validation on Azure Public Cloud and incorporates enhanced linting tools for better maintenance of end-to-end tests.
