2) Migrate existing VNFs into the new setup, this implies to at least onboard them through SDC, including LoopTemplatesDCAE blueprint
3) Distribute new artifacts to CLAMP/POLICY/CDS/DCAE
At this point Loop migration is possible, it is recommended to define a control loop migration strategy based on the CNF/PNF/VNF migration strategy, for instance :
- Instantiate CNF/PNF/VNFs on the new setup

- Migrate traffic from old to new setup (smooth migration or load balance)
- Stop traffic on old setup
- Delete old setup loops and CNF/PNF/VNFs
