The Virtual Infrastructure Deployment (VID) application allows infrastructure service deployment operators
to instantiate service instances and their constituent parts for Distributed service models required by the
ONAP service operations that manage them, such as Mobility Network Services, etc.
The models are defined by ONAP component SDC. The service
deployment operator selects the service operations owner and model that they wish to instantiate. After
entry of appropriate data, the operator instructs VID to direct another ONAP component, MSO, to instantiate
the selected service model. Once the service instance has been instantiated, the service operator can instruct
VID to direct MSO to instantiate the service instance's component VNFs, VF Modules, Networks and Volume Groups.
The VID user can also search for, and display, existing service instances and direct the instantiation of
subsequent instance components.
