Starting from release 2.0, VMware Telco Cloud Automation provides a Workflow designer in the user interface for defining life-cycle management workflows.
The Workflow designer in VMware Telco Cloud Automation is available for Network Functions (VNFs and CNFs) and Network Services. Using the Workflow designer, you can now create a workflow, upload an existing workflow specification in JSON format from your local system, or select a workflow from the Resources folder in VMware Telco Cloud Automation.
You can design workflows for the following life-cycle events, or add a custom workflow. The list can differ for VNFs, CNFs, and Network Services:
- Instantiate Start
- Instantiate End
- Heal Start
- Heal End
- Scale Start
- Scale End
- Scale Level To Start
- Scale Level To End
- Terminate Start
- Terminate End
- Upgrade Start
- Upgrade End
You can also deactivate a life-cycle event if your network function does not support it.
