  PlacementConstraint:
    description: >
      This type provides information regarding a resource placement
      constraint. A set of such constraints may be sent by the VNFM to the
      NFVO to influence the resource placement decisions made by the NFVO as
      part of the granting process.
      A placement constraint defines a condition to the placement of new
      resources, considering other new resources as well as existing resources.
      EXAMPLE:
      The following rules influence the placement of a set of resources such
      that they are placed in the same Network Function Virtualisation
      Infrastructure Point of Presence (NFVI-PoP) but in different resource
      zones:
