DUBLIN ACTIVITIES FOR PNF PRE-ONBOARDING & ONBOARDING
| DELIVERABLE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| NF Package | Producing and collecting NF artifacts for a NF package. Vendor provided. Dublin Priorities are the PNFD and NF Registration YAML File. |
| PNF-SDK | Develop PNF-SDK (or enhance VNF-SDK) to be able to create a PNF onboarding Package. The SDK is a set of tool which can take the NF Package and create the PNF onboarding package the SDC will use. |
| PNF Onboarding Package | Create a PNF onboarding package through PNF-SDK. This is the output of the PNF-SDK. |
| Onboard the Package | SDC Enhancements need to be made to onboard the PNF Package and enter into the SDC Catalog |
| Distribution of CSAR | SDC creates a CSAR package for the PNF including artifacts, and TOSCA definitions. This work will include the PNF artifacts into CSAR package. The CSAR package is distributed by SDC to ONAP Run-Time Components. Chances need to be made to verify the reception of the CSAR and use of the CSAR by the Components. |
