For XGVela, as Cloud Native OAM PaaS capabilities are the inner capabilities within a CNF, they should be wrapped together with other network fucntions of CNF as a united group of helm charts, and shares the same lifecycle management procedure as normal CNF helm charts. So, to collaborate with Naphio, XGVela PaaS functions are inner functions of CNF and generally managed (deployed, configured and monitored). To collaborate with 5G BP, XGVela PaaS capabilities can play as independent OAM functions which support http request on CNF’s observability status and data.
