This tutorial covers using the ONAP portal to onboard and distribute a prebuilt virtual network function, in this specific case, a firewall application which will throttle traffic through the ports it controls if the bandwidth being consumed goes above a certain threshold, and then open up the ports when traffic moderates below a "low tide" value.

Typically, the workflow involved in designing, onboarding, and distributing a virtual service is compartmentalized, and through the course of this tutorial, we will be dividing the work up among four sample "users" included in the based OpenECOMP ONAP environment by default:
cs0008: the "Designer" role, responsible for the design and configuration of the servicejm0007: the "Tester" role, responsible for testing a proposed distribution and approving or rejecting itgv0001: the "Governor" role, responsible for approve the actual distribution of a virtual serviceop0001: the "Ops" role, responsible for performing the actual distribution of an approve virtual service

For the first steps, we will log into the ONAP Portal as our Designer, cs0008. The home screen will be similar to what we saw in the previous tutorial. All the next steps will be under the designer until mentioned otherwise. Click on the SDC icon.
