 An instance of ONAP needs to be present, as well as a number of deployed VNFs, in the scope of the use cases.
 
 The initial Auto use cases cover:
 
-* Edge Cloud (increased autonomy and automation for managing Edge VNFs)
-* Resilience Improvements through ONAP (reduced recovery time for VNFs and end-to-end services in case of failure or suboptimal performance)
-* Enterprise vCPE (automation, cost optimization, and performance assurance of enterprise connectivity to Data Centers and the Internet)

 The general idea of Auto is to install an OPNFV environment (comprising at least one Cloud Manager),
 an ONAP instance, ONAP-deployed VNFs as required by use cases, possibly additional cloud managers not

+ONAP-based onboarding and deployment of VNFs is in progress (ONAP-Amsterdam pre-loading of VNFs must still done outside
+of ONAP: for VM-based VNFs, users need to prepare OpenStack stacks (using Heat templates), then make an instance snapshot
+which serves as the binary image of the VNF).
 
-An initial version of a script to prepare an OpenStack instance for ONAP (creation of a public and a private network, with a router) has been developed.
+An initial version of a script to prepare an OpenStack instance for ONAP (creation of a public and a private network,

 Integration with Arm servers has started (exploring binary compatibility):
 
-* Openstack is currently installed on a 6-server pod of Arm servers
+* OpenStack is currently installed on a 6-server pod of Arm servers
 * A set of 14 additional Arm servers was deployed at UNH, for increased capacity
-* Arm-compatible Docker images are in the process of being developed (they were used in the OpenStack Summit demo)
+* Arm-compatible Docker images are in the process of being developed
 
 Test case implementation for the three use cases has started.
 
-OPNFV CI/CD integration with JJD (Jenkins Job Description) has started: see the Auto plan description `here <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/AUTO/CI+Plan+for+Auto>`_. The permanent resource for that is a 6-server Arm pod, hosted at UNH.

 Finally, the following figure illustrates Auto in terms of project activities:

+Note: a demo was delivered at the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver on May 21st 2018, to illustrate the deployment of a WordPress application
+(WordPress is a platform for websites and blogs) deployed on a multi-architecture cloud (mix of x86 and Arm servers).
+This shows how service providers and enterprises can diversify their data centers with servers of different architectures,
+and select architectures best suited to each use case (mapping application components to architectures: DBs, interactive servers,
+number-crunching modules, ...).
+This prefigures how other examples such as ONAP, VIMs, and VNFs could also be deployed on heterogeneous multi-architecture
+environments (open infrastructure), orchestrated by Kubernetes. The Auto installation scripts could expand on that approach.
