The O-RAN O2 Interface connects the O-RAN SMO to the O-Cloud.
It lets the SMO inventory, deploy, scale, and manage the cloud infrastructure that hosts O-RAN network functions.
Used for
- Cloud infrastructure inventory.
- Deployment and lifecycle management of O-RAN workloads.
- Resource allocation for compute, networking, and storage.
- Monitoring infrastructure resources and deployment state.
Scope
O2 is about the cloud platform underneath the RAN functions. O-RAN O1 Interface is about managing the RAN functions themselves.
