| **e2eServiceInstance** method is a hard-coded approach with dedicated/specific |
| service BPMN workflow. That means it is linked to ONAP source code |
| and lifecycle. |
| |
| **A La Carte** method requires the Operations actor to build and send |
| a lot of operations. To build those requests, Operator actor needs to |
| define/collect by himself all VNF parameters/values. |
| |
| **Macro** method required the Operations actor to build and send only one |
| request and, thanks to CDS Blueprint templates, ONAP will collect and assign |
| all required parameters/values by itself. |
