+VNF Instantiation
+=================
+
+**Pre-requisites**
+
+- the VNF is part of a Service Model (see: Service Design)
+
+ Note: in ONAP SDC tool, VNF is named "VF"
+
+
+**Possible methods with ONAP to instantiate a VNF**
+
+- With **A La Carte**
+ method, the user needs to build and send a VNF instantiation
+ request.
+
+ Note 1: prior to be able to send a request to instantiate
+ a VNF, the user needs to instantiate a Service Object and then will
+ need to refer to that Service instance in the VNF instantiate request.
+
+ Note 2: after having instantiated the VNF object, the user needs to
+ instantiate a VF-module object, refering to the previously instantiated
+ VNF object.
+
+ Note 3: the request to instantiate the VF-module object will, at last, send
+ a request to the selected Cloud Platform (Openstack, Azure, K8S...).
+
+- With **Macro**
+ method, the user do not need to send any
+ VNF instantiation request. VNF instantiation is being automatically
+ performed by ONAP when sending the request to instantiate the Service
+ (see: Instantiate Service).
+
+
+**Possible Tools to perform VNF Instantiation**
+
+the user needs such a tool only if using the "A La Carte" method.
+
+- **via ONAP VID Graphical User Interface tool**
+
+- **via any tool able to perform REST API requests**
+ (for example : Robot Framework, Postman, Curl...) connected
+ to **ONAP SO** legacy API.
+
+With "A La Carte" method
+------------------------
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ using ONAP VID Portal <../vid/index.rst>
+ using ONAP SO REST API <../so1/index.rst>
+
+With "Macro" method
+------------------------
+
+VNF and VF-Module instantiation are performed automatically when performing
+Service Instantiation.
