+CLAMP is a function for designing and managing control loops and a UI to manage Policies.
+ It is used to visualize a control loop, configure it with specific parameters for a particular network
service, then deploying and undeploying it. Once deployed, the user can also
update the loop with new parameters during runtime, as well as suspending and
restarting it.

+The ONAP CLAMP function abstracts the details of these systems under the concept
of a control loop model. The design of a control loop and its management is
represented by a workflow in which all relevant system interactions take
place. This is essential for a self-service model of creating and managing
control loops, where no low-level user interaction with other components is
required.
-CLAMP also allows to visualize control loop metrics through a dashboard, in order
