(Also called sdk-Md)

Provides the VNF SDK as commands and client side language bindings. Enables use of VNF SDK functions from graphical user interfaces, shell scripts, programs and command line interfaces

 A user command interface for:
  • Selecting the control loop flow
  • Entering configuration policy parameters
  • Entering operational policy parameters
  • Managing life cycle of DCAE control flow blueprint Building a VNF/PNF package
  • Validating a VNF/PNF package
  • Extracting a VNF/PNF package
  • Parsing a VNF/PNF package
  • Testing a VNF/PNF package (dry run install)
VNFSDKE-2

Market Place GUI
(also called Sdk-Mp)

Provides the VNF SDK as commands and client side language bindings. Enables use of VNF SDK functions from graphical user interfaces, shell scripts, programs and command line interfaces

 Display and update:

Events received and actions taken on the control loop.

A user interface for:

  • Upload/Re-upload VNF/PNF package
  •  Delete VNF/PNF package
