7 CONTROLLER DESIGN STUDIO (CDS)
8 ==============================
14 The system is designed to be self service, which means that users, not just
15 programmers, can reconfigure the software system as needed to meet customer
16 requirements. To accomplish this goal, the system is built around models that
17 provide for real-time changes in how the system operates. Users merely need
18 to change a model to change how a service operates.
19 Self service is a completely new way of delivering services. It removes the
20 dependence on code releases and the delays they cause and puts the control of
21 services into the hands of the service providers. They can change a model and
22 its parameters and create a new service without writing a single line of code.
23 This makes SERVICE PROVIDER(S) more responsive to its customers and able to
24 deliver products that more closely match the needs of its customers.
28 In Dublin release, the CDS community has contributed a framework to automate
29 the resolution of resources for instantiation and any config provisioning
30 operation, such as day0, day1 or day2 configuration.
32 The content of the CBA Package is driven from a catalog of reusable data
33 dictionary, component and workflow, delivering a reusable and simplified
34 self service experience.
36 TOSCA based JSON formatted model following standard:

66 The Controller Design Studio is composed of two major components:
67 * The GUI (or frontend)
68 * The Run Time (or backend)
70 The GUI handles direct user input and allows for displaying both design time
71 and run time activities. For design time, it allows for the creation of
72 controller blueprint, from selecting the DGs to be included, to incorporating
73 the artifact templates, to adding necessary components. For run time, it
74 allows the user to direct the system to resolve the unresolved elements of the
75 controller blueprint and download the resulting configuration into a VNF.
76 At a more basic level, it allows for creation of data dictionaries,
77 capabilities catalogs, and controller blueprint, the basic elements that are
78 used to generate a configuration. The essential function of the Controller
79 Design Studio is to create and populate a controller blueprint, create a
80 configuration file from this Controller blueprint, and download this
81 configuration file (configlet) to a VNF/PNF.

109 When executing a component executor script, designer might want to perform
110 resource resolution along with template meshing directly from the script
