This document provides a quickstart for developers of the Non-RT RIC A1 Policy Management Service.

The A1 Policy Management Service is implemented in ONAP. For additional documentation

==============================

Information on running and configuring the functions in Docker can be found 
on the `Run in Docker wiki page <https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/RICNR/Release+J+-+Run+in+Docker>`_

Non-RT RIC can be also deployed in a Kubernetes cluster, `it/dep repository <https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/it/dep>`_.
hosts deployment and integration artifacts. Instructions and helm charts to deploy the Non-RT-RIC functions in the
OSC NONRTRIC integrated test environment can be found in the *./nonrtric* directory.
