Talk:Release 0 HowTo guide for users

(Gerardo)

I suggest to edit this page and change its structure:

Current structure:

1. Introduction
2. Getting Started
   1. Installation
      1. Accessing Launchpad
   2. Configuration
   3. Packages
      1. About checksums.txt
      2. Create a package using a script
      3. Create a package manually
      4. On-boarding
      5. Instantiation
   4. Service and Config Primitives
   5. Termination

New structure:

1. Introduction
2. Getting Started
   1. Installation
      1. Accessing Launchpad
   2. Configuration
   3. On-boarding VNF
      1. Getting VNF packages from ETSI repos
      2. On-boarding
   4. On-boarding NS
      1. Getting NS packages from ETSI repos
      2. On-boarding
   5. Instantiation of NS
   6. Service and Config Primitives
   7. Termination of NS
3. How to create your own packages
   1. VNF package
   2. NS package

Let me bring your attention to the section 3, which is new and is supposed to include instructions on how to create packages based on the hands-on session on OSM-Midcycle meeting. I suggest to remove the text in sections 2.3.1 (About checksums.txt), 2.3.2 (Create a package using a script) and 2.3.3 (Create a package manually) because it is not self-explanatory. It's more appropriate for a developer than for an end user.

If agreed, I will make the changes.

Yes. I agree with you Gerardo. I do have few suggestions as well. 1.) May be suggested removals of 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 sections might deserve moving from here to How to Guide for Developers page rather that removing it completely. 2.) Also let me suggest you to expand VNF Package and NS Package section by adding subsections separately for VNFD, NSD, VLD, VNFFGD etc. 3.) May be we can add another section related to life cycle management and include NS instantiation, NS termination within that section along with few other subsections for few other important LCM procedures as scale in/out upgrade/update etc.
