(Note: this section is optional - you can do SDC work for your own service - but demo.sh init will prepopulate a vFW and vLB for you)
The process of readying a Vendor Software Product for distribution is a complex workflow which not only requires a number a discrete steps but, in order to keep operations compartmentalized, involves a number of different "roles".
In order to keep things more manageable, the overall tutorial has been broken up into three major sections:
Part 1: Creating a new licensing model
Part 2: Onboarding a new Virtual Function (VF) which uses the licensing model
Part 3: Distributing a new VSP based on the VF
This tutorial presumes that you have already completed the previous tutorial on instantiating the base ONAP stack and have been able to successfully access and log into the ONAP Portal.
The goal of this tutorial is not to provide a deep introduction to the design of VFs or VSPs, but to demonstrate both the use of the SDC (Service Design & Creation) component of ONAP in the creation and distribution of VSPs, and also to illustrate the general workflow and roles involved.
