You can use one or more mechanisms to pass information to a new |VNF| when it
|
|
|
|
|
is originally launched. The |VNF| can use this information for system
|
|
|
|
|
configuration purposes or to determine running options for the services it
|
|
|
|
|
provides.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mechanisms used to convey information from the Cloud OS to the |VNF| are
|
|
|
|
|
the metadata server and config drive.
