**The "Core" Design Process includes the following steps:**
-* Pre-Onboarding
- A VNF/PNF Provider delivers VNF descriptor, model and
- artefacts (e.g. HEAT template), which will be validated
+**Pre-Onboarding**
+ A VNF/PNF/CNF Provider delivers its descriptor, model and
+ artefacts (e.g. HEAT template, Helm Chart), which will be validated
and packaged for onboarding to ONAP
-* (Resource)-Onboarding
- In the SDC a License Model is created, the VNF/PNF package imported
+**(Resource)-Onboarding**
+ In the SDC a License Model is created, the VNF/PNF/CNF package imported
and a Vendor Software Product (VSP) is created
-* VF Creation and Testing
+**VF Creation and Testing**
A V(N)F, PNF or CR Model is created (a) import of a VSP or VFC
(b) manual creation and import of artefacts created via external
tools like the Controller Design Studio (CDS), responsible for the
The created VF will pass a testing workflow to be used
in a Service Model
-* Service Design
+**Service Design**
A Service Model is created as a composition of resources
(e.g. V(N)Fs, PNFs,...), Policies, Workflows,...
- The created Service Model will pass a testing workflow and
- handed over to a Governance Approval and Distribution process
+ The created Service Model will ber certified and handed over to
+ the Service Distribution process
-* Governance Approval and Distribution
- The Service Provider will have a specific set of policies and
- procedures for approving Services and deploying them in the
+**Service Distribution**
+ The Service Provider will distribute the Service Model to the
Runtime Service Catalog
**The optional/additional Design steps are:**
-* VNF parameter assignment templating
+**VNF parameter assignment templating**
The objective is to automate the resolution of resources for instantiation
and any config provisioning operation, such as day0, day1 or day2
configuration.
ONAP CDS (Controller Design Studio) is the controller that will process
the Controller Blueprint archive (CBA) at run-time.
-* Policy Design
+**Policy Design**
These are rules, conditions, requirements, constraints, attributes,
or needs that must be provided, maintained, and/or enforced.
At a lower level, Policy involves machine-readable rules enabling
provides some policy models that are implemented and pre-loaded when
installing ONAP.
-* VNF LifeCycle Command templating
+**VNF LifeCycle Command templating**
APPC Controller Design Tool (CDT) is used for self-service onboarding of
VNF’s. VNF owners can create templates and other artifacts for APPC
Configure command (used to apply a post-instantiation configuration)
as well as other life cycle commands.
-* Workflow Design
+**Workflow Design**
The purpose of the Workflow Designer is to enable designers to define or
modify workflows to support Service/Resource change management scenarios
executed by the Service Orchestrator.
-* Control Loop Design
+**Control Loop Design**
This phase includes the Design of a closed loop template and associate it
to a Service. The template represents the theoretical flow of the CL.
It generates a deployment artifact that can be ingested by the DCAE in
