ONAP Dublin release supports scale out with manual trigger by directly calling SO APIs and closed-loop-enabled automation from Policy. For Dublin, the APPC controller is used to demonstrate accepting request from SO to execute the Scale Out operation. APPC can be used to scale different VNF types, not only the VNF described in this document. -VNF Instantiation -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +PART 1 - Service Definition and Onboarding +------------------------------------------ +This use-case requires operations on several ONAP components to perform service definition and onboarding + + +1-1 using CDS : VNF configuration modeling and upload +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Dublin, the scale out use case integrates with the Controller Design Studio (CDS) ONAP component to automate the generation of cloud configuration at VNF instantiation time. Users can model this configuration at VNF design time and onboard the blueprint to CDS via the CDS GUI. The blueprint includes naming policies and network configuration details (e.g. IP address families, network names, etc.) that CDS will use during VNF instantiation to generate resource names and assign network configuration to VMs through the cloud orchestrator. Please look at the CDS documentation for details about how to create configuration models, blueprints, and use the CDS tool: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Modeling+Concepts.
