+HV-VES installation
+===================
+
+Starting from ONAP/Honolulu release, HV-VES is installed with a DCAEGEN2-Services Helm charts.
+This installation mechanism is convenient, but it doesn`t support all HV-VES features (e.g. CMP v2 certificates, and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack networking). This description demonstrates, how to deploy HV-VES collector using Cloudify orchestrator.
+
+Setting insecure mode for testing
+---------------------------------
+
+HV-VES application is configured by default to use TLS/SSL encryption on TCP connection. 
+However it is posible to turn off TLS/SSL authorization by overriding Cloudify blueprint inputs.
+
+Accessing bootstrap container with Kubernetes command line tool
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To find bootstrap pod, execute the following command:
+
+::
+
+    kubectl -n <onap namespace> get pods | grep bootstrap
+
+To run command line in bootstrap pod, execute:
+
+::
+
+    kubectl -n <onap namespace> exec -it <bootstrap-pod-name> bash
+
+
+Install HV-VES collector using Cloudify blueprint inputs
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. If You have a running HV-VES instance, uninstall HV-VES and delete current deployment:
+
+:: 
+
+    cfy executions start -d hv-ves uninstall
+    cfy deployments delete hv-ves 
+
+2. Create new deployment with inputs from yaml file (available by default in bootstrap container):
+
+:: 
+
+    cfy deployments create -b hv-ves -i inputs/k8s-hv_ves-inputs.yaml hv-ves
+
+In order to disable the TLS security, override the 'secuirty_ssl_disable' value in the deloyment:
+
+::
+
+    cfy deployments create -b hv-ves -i inputs/k8s-hv_ves-inputs.yaml -i security_ssl_disable=True hv-ves
+
+To verify inputs, You can execute: 
+
+:: 
+
+    cfy deployments inputs hv-ves
+
+3. Install HV-VES deployment:
+
+:: 
+
+    cfy executions start -d hv-ves install
+
+
+Using external TLS certificates obtained using CMP v2 protocol
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to use the X.509 certificates obtained from the CMP v2 server (so called "operator`s certificates"), refer to the following description:
