Information Model Inventory
The section captures the current inventory of the various ONAP Information Models and details of each model.
| Category | Model Name and Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Service | Service Model | This is a high-level service model that is "agnostic" of the types of services being modeled. The NSD gets derived from this model. |
| Service | NSD Model | The Network Service Descriptor (NSD) is a deployment template which consists of information used by the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) for life cycle management of an NS. It references the VNFFG, VNFD, VLD, and PNFD. |
| Resource | Resource Model | This is a high-level resource model that is "agnostic" of the types of resources being modeled. The VNFD gets derived from this model. |
| Resource | A VNF Descriptor (VNFD) is a deployment template which describes a VNF in terms of deployment and operational behavior requirements. It also contains connectivity, interface and virtualized resource requirements. | |
| Resource | VDU Descriptor | A VNFD contains one or more Virtualization Deployment Unit Descriptors (VDUD). The VDU is a construct supporting the description of the deployment and operational behaviour of a VNFC. A VNFC instance created based on the VDU maps to a single virtualisation container (e.g. a VM). |
