VNF SDK provides the functionality to create VNF and PNF packages, test VNF and VNF ONAP compliance and provides market place functionality to store VNF and PNF packages. It supports:
The ability to create a HEAT and ETSI compliant (SOL004,SOL001) based VNF&PNF packages in a csar format.
Test VNFand PNF packages for ONAP compliance.
Upload and download VNF pages to/from a marketplace
In addition VNF SDK is used outside of ONAP by the LFN compliance and verification functionality.
2. VNFSDK API definitions
VNFSDK provides
- Create control loop from DCAE blueprint sent by SDC
- Create configuration policy from the policy Tosca sent by SDC
- Configure DCAE applications of the control loop
- Associate µService configuration policies to the DCAE application
- Configure the operations to be taken by the control loop (by creating/updating/deleting operational policies)
- Deploy/un-deploy control loop flow (blueprints) to DCAE
- Control loop visualization.
CLAMP relies on Policy to communicate to App-C/VF-C/SDN-C/SO in runtime, hence these are not part of CLAMP

Clamp application redundancy HA relies on Kubernetes
None known. Note, VNF-SDK is a design time component.
5. Used Models
Clamp VNFSDK uses the following models:
- VNF Package Model
- PNF Package Model
- Service model (received from SDC)
- VNF model (received from SDC)
- Policy Model.
6. System Deployment Architecture
Clamp consists of 5 containers:
