| 6 | Instantiate |
| 7 | =========== |
| 8 | The following guides are provided to describe tasks that a user of |
| 9 | ONAP may need to perform when instantiating a service. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Instantiation includes the following topics: |

| 16 | Pre-instantiation operations <./pre_instantiation/index.rst> |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Instantiation operation(s) <./instantiation/index.rst> |
| 19 | |

| 21 | **e2eServiceInstance** method is a hard-coded approach with dedicated/specific |
| 22 | service BPMN workflow. That means it is linked to ONAP source code |
| 23 | and lifecycle. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | **Alacarte** method required the Operator actor to build and send |
| 26 | a lot of operations. To build those requests, Operator actor needs to |
| 27 | define/collect by himself all VNF parameters/values. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | **Macro** method required the Operator actor to build and send only one request and, |
| 30 | thanks to CDS Blueprint templates, ONAP will collect and assign |
| 31 | by itself all paramters/values. |
