attribute that declares the default value of the parameter.
ONAP implementation prohibits the use of this attribute.
hidden
+++++++
.. req::
:id: R-32557
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template parameter declaration **MAY**
contain the attribute ``hidden:``.
The parameter attribute ``hidden:`` is an OpenStack optional attribute that
defines whether the parameters should be hidden when a user requests
information about a stack created from the template.
This attribute can be used to hide passwords specified as parameters.
constraints
++++++++++++
The parameter attribute ``constraints:`` is an OpenStack optional attribute
that defines a list of constraints to apply to the parameter.
.. req::

A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's parameter defined
in a non-nested YAML file as type
``boolean`` **MAY** have a parameter constraint defined.
.. req::
:id: R-00011
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST NOT
:validation_mode: static
:updated: casablanca
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's parameter defined
in a nested YAML file
**MUST NOT** have a parameter constraint defined.
The constraints block of a parameter definition defines additional
validation constraints that apply to the value of the parameter.
The parameter values provided in the VNF Heat Orchestration Template are
validated against the constraints at instantiation time.
The stack creation fails if the parameter value doesn't comply to
the constraints.
The constraints are defined as a list with the following syntax
.. code-block:: yaml
constraints:
<constraint type>: <constraint definition>
description: <constraint description>
..
**<constraint type>** Provides the type of constraint to apply.
The list of OpenStack supported constraints can be found at
https://docs.openstack.org/heat/latest/template_guide/hot_spec.html .
**<constraint definition>** provides the actual constraint.
The syntax and constraint is dependent of the <constraint type> used.
**description:** is an optional attribute that provides a description of
the constraint. The text is presented to the user when the value the user
defines violates the constraint. If omitted, a default validation message is
presented to the user.
Below is a brief overview of the ``range`` and ``allowed values`` constraints.
For complete details on constraints, see
https://docs.openstack.org/heat/latest/template_guide/hot_spec.html#parameter-constraints
**range**
``range``: The ``range`` constraint applies to parameters of ``type: number``.
It defines a lower and upper limit for the numeric value of the parameter.
The syntax of the ``range`` constraint is
.. code-block:: yaml
range: { min: <lower limit>, max: <upper limit> }
..
It is possible to define a range constraint with only a lower limit or an
upper limit.
**allowed_values**
``allowed_values``: The ``allowed_values`` constraint applies to parameters of
type ``string`` or type ``number``. It specifies a set of possible values
for a parameter. At deployment time, the user-provided value for the
respective parameter must match one of the elements of the list.
The syntax of the ``allowed_values`` constraint is
.. code-block:: yaml
allowed_values: [ <value>, <value>, ... ]
Alternatively, the following YAML list notation can be used
allowed_values:
- <value>
- <value>
- ...
immutable
++++++++++++
.. req::
:id: R-22589
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template parameter declaration
**MAY** contain the attribute ``immutable:``.
The parameter attribute ``immutable`` is an OpenStack optional attribute
that defines whether the parameter is updatable. A Heat Orchestration Template
stack update fails if ``immutable`` is set to ``true`` and the parameter
value is changed. This attribute ``immutable`` defaults to ``false``.
.. _resources:
resources
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. req::
:id: R-23664
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
A VNF's Heat Orchestration template **MUST**
contain the section ``resources:``.
.. req::
:id: R-90152
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's
``resources:`` section **MUST** contain the declaration of at
least one resource.
.. req::
:id: R-40551
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
:updated: casablanca
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Nested YAML files **MAY**
(or **MAY NOT**) contain the section ``resources:``.
Each resource is defined as a
separate block in the resources section with the following syntax.
.. code-block:: yaml
resources:
<resource ID>:
type: <resource type>
properties:
<property name>: <property value>
metadata:
<resource specific metadata>
depends_on: <resource ID or list of ID>
update_policy: <update policy>
deletion_policy: <deletion policy>
external_id: <external resource ID>
condition: <condition name or expression or boolean>
resource ID
+++++++++++++
.. req::
:id: R-75141
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's resource name
(i.e., <resource ID>) **MUST** only contain alphanumeric
characters and underscores ('_').
.. req::
:id: R-16447
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
A VNF's <resource ID> **MUST** be unique across all Heat
Orchestration Templates and all HEAT Orchestration Template
Nested YAML files that are used to create the VNF.
Note that a VNF can be composed of one or more Heat Orchestration Templates.
Note that OpenStack requires the <resource ID> to be unique to the
Heat Orchestration Template and not unique across all Heat
Orchestration Templates the compose the VNF.
type
+++++
The resource attribute ``type`` is an OpenStack required attribute that
defines the resource type, such as ``OS::Nova::Server`` or
``OS::Neutron::Port``.
The resource attribute ``type`` may specify a VNF HEAT
Orchestration Template Nested YAML file.
.. req::
:id: R-53952
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST NOT
:validation_mode: static
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource
**MUST NOT** reference a HTTP-based resource definitions.

:id: R-71699
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST NOT
:validation_mode: static
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource
**MUST NOT** reference a HTTP-based Nested YAML file.
properties
+++++++++++++
The resource attribute ``properties`` is an OpenStack optional attribute that
provides a list of resource-specific properties. The property value can
be provided in place, or via a function
(e.g., `Intrinsic functions <https://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/hot_spec.html#hot-spec-intrinsic-functions>`__).

:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
:updated: dublin
If a VNF's Heat Orchestration Template resource attribute
``property:`` uses a nested ``get_param``, the nested
``get_param`` **MUST** reference an index.
That is, to obtain a property value, two ``get_param`` intrinsic
functions are used. The second ``get_param`` must be used
to obtain an index value used to reference a parameter value in
a parameter defined as ``type: comma_delimited_list``. For
example:
* ``name: {get_param: [ name, get_param: index ] }``
metadata
++++++++++
The resource attribute ``metadata`` is an OpenStack optional attribute.
.. req::
:id: R-67386
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
:introduced: casablanca
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource **MAY** declare the
attribute ``metadata``.
depends_on
+++++++++++
The resource attribute ``depends_on`` is an OpenStack optional attribute.
See `Section <https://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/hot_spec.html#hot-spec-resources-dependencies>`__ 9.7 for additional details.
.. req::
:id: R-46968
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource **MAY** declare the
attribute ``depends_on:``.
update_policy
++++++++++++++
.. req::
:id: R-63137
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource **MAY** declare the
attribute ``update_policy:``.
deletion_policy
+++++++++++++++++++
.. req::
:id: R-43740
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
:updated: casablanca
VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource **MAY** declare the
attribute ``deletion_policy:``.
If specified, the ``deletion_policy`` attribute for resources allows
values ``Delete``, ``Retain``, and ``Snapshot``.
Starting with heat_template_version 2016-10-14,
lowercase equivalents are also allowed.
The default policy is to delete the physical resource when
deleting a resource from the stack.
external_id
++++++++++++
.. req::
:id: R-78569
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
:updated: casablanca
VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's Resource **MAY** declare the
attribute ``external_id:``.
This attribute allows for specifying the resource_id for an existing external
(to the stack) resource. External resources cannot depend on other resources,
but we allow other resources to depend on external resource. This attribute
is optional. Note: when this is specified, properties will not be used for
building the resource and the resource is not managed by Heat. This is not
possible to update that attribute. Also, resource won't be deleted by
heat when stack is deleted.
condition
+++++++++++
The resource attribute ``condition`` is an OpenStack optional attribute.
outputs
~~~~~~~~~
.. req::
:id: R-36982
:target: VNF
:keyword: MAY
A VNF's Heat Orchestration template **MAY** contain the ``outputs:``
section.
This section allows for specifying output parameters
available to users once the template has been instantiated. If the
section is specified, it will need to adhere to specific requirements.
See :ref:`Output Parameters` and
:ref:`ONAP Output Parameter Names` for additional details.
Environment File Format
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template's environment file is a yaml text file.
(https://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/environment.html)
.. req::
:id: R-86285
:target: VNF
:keyword: MUST
:validation_mode: static
:updated: casablanca
A VNF's Heat Orchestration template **MUST** have a
corresponding environment file.
The use of an environment file in OpenStack is optional. In ONAP, it is
mandatory. A Heat Orchestration Template uploaded to ONAP must have a
corresponding environment file, even if no parameters are enumerated in
the mandatory parameter section.
