    Describes constraints on the NFVI for the VNFC instance(s) created from this Vdu. For example, aspects of a secure hosting environment for the VNFC instance that involve additional entities or processes.

    NOTE: These are constraints other than stipulating that a VNFC instance has access to a certain resource, as a prerequisite to instantiation. The attributes virtualComputeDesc and virtualStorageDesc define the resources required for instantiation of the VNFC instance.

    Openstack has the concepts "availability zone" and "host aggregates" by which the operator could specify (or constrain) the deployment location of the VM (VNFC instance).

    It's proposed to have these two attributes defined in the VNFD as input parameters (with default values defined if necessary).

    Class: VirtualComputeDesc

    The VirtualComputeDesc class supports the specification of requirements related to virtual compute resources.

    There are two ways to inject data into VM instance during instantiation process: 1) using config drive to provide such information (covered by the bootData attribute in the VNFD); 2) using an injection file.

    It's proposed to also support this way of providing additional data to the VM instance.

    Note: file injection is deprecated in OpenStack Queen version

    The policy can take values of "static" or "dynamic". In case of "static" the virtual CPU cores are requested to be allocated to logical CPU cores according to the rules defined in virtualCpuPinningRules. In case of "dynamic" the allocation of virtual CPU cores to logical CPU cores is decided by the VIM. (e.g.: SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) requirements).
