Other potential considerations? 

• PNF onboarding support

• generic netconf server module for VNFs?

• K8s VNFs?

• HEAT→TOSCA migration tool?

• Image management/distribution (image upload to deploy VNFs)

  • quarantine area

  • separate from what happens after onboarding

  • includes model changes

  • encryption?

• Data model changes (boot disk, HPA format clarification, (deployment flavor support))

• Security (discuss with SEC and ARC)

• Support ONAP extensions in VNF descriptor
