Scope

What is this release trying to address?

Describe the problem being solved by this release

Realizing full life cycle management and FCAPS of VNF and NS.

Features and Functionality for First Release:

  1. Full life cycle management for NS

  2. Full life cycle management and FCAPS for VNFs

  3. Providing specifications for NSD and VNFD

  4. Providing the integration specifications for Policy/SO/DCAE/Use case Portal/VID/Vendor VNFM/EMS/A&AI/Mutil-VIM
    Note: The end2end service orchestration is out of scope for VF-C, VF-C will take part in end2end service orchestration by working with SO.
