Introduction
The purpose of this article is to describe the vDNS use case distribution in Dublin Release.
What's new
The Controller Blueprint Archive CBA is a zip archive that hosts all the service model related artifacts (heat templates, blueprints, vtl templates, workflows, etc ... ) that can enable ONAP to assign and instantiate the service.
Controller Design Studio CDS should receive a notification when a new service model is distributed by SDC, and then CDS will download the CBA CSAR file and deploy it.
Distribution of a VNF CBA
Part 1 - Create VF Model and Certify
Login to ONAP as Designer (cs0008/demo123456!), and click on SDC application.
Using a sample CBA vDNS.zip, we start by adding a VF in SDC.
We fill in the service name and description, etc ..., and click "Create".
Click on "Deployment Artifact", then "Add other arifacts", and select the vDNS.zip CBA.
Check the artifact is uploaded OK, and click on "Certify".

Add service name and description, and click on "Create"
Click on "Composition", and drag the VF we created from the palette on the left onto the canvas in the middle.
Then, click on "Submit for Testing".
