Abstract

Onboarding a Virtual Network Function (VNF) package utilized by multiple network services is disclosed. The VNF package is received from a vendor for network services requested by a customer. The VNF package and its contents may be uploaded on an orchestrating manager, and a NFVI admin decides workflows for the VNF package, for validating and certifying the VNF package. The VNF package is validated using multiple checks and then parameters are identified for monitoring and certifying the VNF package. The VNF package is then ready for onboarding and instantiating the network services requested by the customer.
