In onap.nodes.ComputeIn the Info Model, the VDU element combines 2 aspects: application logic and expectations of the underlying infrastructure.

...

  1. VFC - an ONAP resource that represents a piece of application-level logic and includes:
    1. a requirement for hosting by a container
    2. a software image to launch the application logic on the container
    3. a free set of application-level requirements and capabilities
  2. Container - an ONAP resource that represents a unit of infrastructure allocation. It expresses the following ideas:
    1. a "hardware shopping list" - in the terms of TOSCA requirements, which are based on specially designed TOSCA capability types
    2. a software image that the Orchestrator uses to launch such a unit - by means of a TOSCA artifact 
    3. an ability to host application logic - modeled as a TOSCA capability of a special capability type
