Joseph O'Leary to pad out this section

A Control Loop service template is made up of several components, those which represent applications, those which represent dynamic config schemas, and the actual node_templates which makes up the loop itself.

Applications can be a DCAE microservice, an operational policy, or any other application as long as it can be modelled, and the targeted ecosystem to has a participant client waiting for the event distributions from CLAMP via DMaaP MR.

Dynamic config on the other hand can be a monitoring policy, or any other resource that provides config to parts of the loop, can be updated after the run time phase has started and is supported by the components hosting the applications in the control loop.

2.1: Control Loop TOSCA file definition

2.1.1 Application Definition 

org.onap.APP:
    properties:
      application_name:
        type: string
        description: Human readable name for the application.
        required: true
      provider:
        type: string
        description: Provider of the application and of the descriptor.
        required: true
      application_version:
        type: string
        description: Software version of the application.
        required: true
      resource_id:
        type: string
        description: The ID of the resource, should be provided if the resource was uploaded to the entitys inventory already.
        required: false
      resource_content:
        type: string
        description: the contents of the application resource, to be uploaded during deploy phase of loop.
        required: false
      monitoring_policy:
        type: string
        description: A reference to the monitoring policy if applicable.
        required: false
    version: 0.0.1
    derived_from: tosca.nodes.Root

2.1.2 Loop Definition

The loop definition is implicit in the node_templates within the topology_template, any node contained within is expected to be a part of the control loop managed by CLAMP.
