22**e2eServiceInstance** method is a hard-coded approach with dedicated/specific
23service BPMN workflow. That means it is linked to ONAP source code
24and lifecycle.
25
26**Alacarte** method required the Operator actor to build and send
27a lot of operations. To build those requests, Operator actor needs to
28define/collect by himself all VNF parameters/values.

30**Macro** method required the Operator actor to build and send only one request and,
31thanks to CDS Blueprint templates, ONAP will collect and assign
32by itself all paramters/values.
