Difference between Catalog and Market place (Analogy)
Market Place:
- Farmer(VNF designers/Vendors) push their produce to market.Market Vendors check the quality and display in their stalls.
- Consumer/Operators select the product based on quality, price and other factors and bring it to their home.
Catalog:
- Consumers put their purchase in their fridge for consumption.
- Products in the fridge are consumed by variety of dishes (services). (Design tools)
Key Points:
1. Market place FE/BE provides API and UI to VNF Vendors for package management.
2. Validation includes validating package structure, integrity and authenticity.
3. Lifecycle test and function test would be attempted in future releases.
4. Finally validated CSAR would be pushed to SDC catalogue.
