The following diagram depicts a possible package management architecture:
- SDC supports SOL004 VNF/PNF package onboarding, and stores the original vendor VNF/PNF package.
- SDC accepts VNF/PNA package management interfaces from OSS/BSS via SOL005 Package Management APIs.
Note: sDC support of SOL007 for NSD?
Package Security
A VNF package uses the signature and certificate to ensure package integrity and validity. A CSAR file is digitally signed with the VNF provider private key. During the VNF package onboarding to SDC, SDC validates the package and then does the following:
- Transform SOL001-based VNFD into SDC internal models
- Store the original Vendor package into the ONBOARDING_PACKAGE directory
