-Workflow
-========
-A workflow defines an overall action to be taken on the service, hence is an entry-point for the run-time execution of the CBA package.
-
-A workflow also defines inputs and outputs that will defined the payload contract of the request and response (see Dynamic API)
-
-A workflow can be composed of one or multiple sub-actions to execute.
-
-A CBA package can have as many workflows as needed.
-
-
-Single action
--------------
-The workflow is directly backed by a node_template of type tosca.nodes.Component
-
-
-Multiple sub-actions
---------------------
-The workflow is backed by Directed Graph engine, node_template of type dg-generic, and are imperative workflows.
-
-A DG used as workflow for CDS is composed of multiple execute nodes; each individual execute node refers to a plugin, that is a node_template of type tosca.nodes.Component.
-
-Below the properties of a workflow:
