ONAP Blueprint Enrichment
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-------------------------
The ONAP Beijing release includes four functional enhancements in the
areas of manually triggered scaling, change management, and hardware
manner, they have been incorporated into VoLTE and vCPE blueprints.
Manually Triggered Scaling
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scale-out and scale-in are two primary benefits of NFV. Scaling can be
triggered manually (e.g., by a user or OSS/BSS) or automatically via a
scale out action on the requested VNF.
Change Management
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NFV will bring with it an era of continuous, incremental changes instead
of periodic step-function software upgrades, in addition to a constant
upgrade through Ansible playbooks.
Hardware Platform Awareness (HPA)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many VNFs have specific hardware requirements to achieve their
performance and security goals. These hardware requirements may range
