Is only command-executor communicating with VNFs or also Blueprint Prosessor directly?

      Samuli Silvius There are various ways the CBA Package within action can be model to communicate to the VNF depending on the capabilities of the VNF.

      Another approach is  REST > ODL > Device

        Script Executor → From Blueprint Processor POD

        Remove Python Executor → From Command Executor POD

        Remote Ansible Executor → From some AWX POD or external AWX server somehow. Not described...

        Is this correct?

        And how about Netconf? I assume directly from Blueprint Processor POD? Is this the same as Script Executor?

        Yes, that's the idea. Python and Ansible already supports a bunch of libraries to communicate with Network Element.

        And how about Netconf? I assume directly from Blueprint Processor POD? Is this the same as Script Executor?

        They are many ways to achieve NetConf connection to NE:

        • through Script Executor (Jython or Kotlin, leveraging CDS's NetConf client)
        • through Remote Python Executor, using libraries such as ncclient, netmiko, etc...
        • through Ansible / Ansible Playbook, leveraging netconf_config module for instance.
