7 ==================

9 CDS is a framework to automate the **resolution of resources** for
10 **instantiation** and any **config** provisioning operation, such as
11 day0, day1 or day2 configuration.
12
13 CDS has a both **design time** and **run time** activities; during
14 design time, **Designer** can **define** what **actions** are required
15 for a given service, along with anything comprising the action. The
16 design produce a :ref:`CBA Package<cba>`. Its **content** is driven from a
17 **catalog** of **reusable data dictionary** and **component**,
18 delivering a reusable and simplified **self service** experience.
19
20 DS modelling is mainly based on `TOSCA
21 standard, <http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.2/csd01/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.2-csd01.html>`_
22 using JSON as reprensentation.

24 Most of the TOSCA modeled entity presented in the bellow documentation
25 can be found
26 `here <https://github.com/onap/ccsdk-cds/tree/master/components/model-catalog/definition-type/starter-type>`_.
