description: |
a base of the ONAP hierarchy of network functions
If you have a requirement for a factory, you're allotted
If you have a requirement for a PNFdevice, you're physical
If you have neither, you're virtual.
Expect to see network functions be group members for naming and homing.
derived_from: onap.nodes.Resource
properties:
# classification is inherited from onap.nodes.Resource, type, role, function should be required
capabilities:
# Expect to define these in the derived node_type, with mappings to appropriate the NetworkFunctionComponent CP
# This exposes external CPs of the NF.
requirements:
# Expect to define these in the derived node_type, with mappings to appropriate inner nodes
