VNF package, i.e. when the new VNFD is changed with respect
to the previous VNFD in other aspects than merely referencing to
other VNF software images. In order to avoid misalignment of the

vnfConfigurableProperties:
description: >
Additional VNF-specific attributes that provide the current values
of the configurable properties of the VNF instance.
These attributes represent values that are stored persistently in
the VnfInstance structure and that correspond to configuration
parameters of the VNF instance.
Modifying these attributes affects the configuration of the VNF
instance either directly (if the VNF instance is in INSTANTIATED
state at the time of the modification) or as part of the subsequent
VNF instantiation operation (if the VNF instance is in NOT_INSTANTIATED
state at the time of the modification).
Configurable properties referred in these attributes shall be declared
in the VNFD. The declaration of configurable properties in the VNFD can optionally
contain the specification of initial values. See note 2, note 3 and note 4.
ETSI GS NFV-SOL 001 specifies the structure and format of the VNFD based on TOSCA specifications.
VNF configurable properties are sometimes also referred to as configuration parameters applicable to a VNF.
Some of these are set prior to instantiation and cannot be modified if the VNF is instantiated, some are set
prior to instantiation (are part of initial configuration) and can be modified later, and others can be set
only after instantiation. The applicability of certain configuration may depend on the VNF and the required
operation of the VNF at a certain point in time.
These configurable properties include the following standard attributes,
which are declared in the VNFD if auto-scaling and/or auto-healing are
supported by the VNF:
- isAutoscaleEnabled: If present, the VNF supports auto-scaling. If set
to true, auto-scaling is currently enabled. If set to false, auto-scaling
is currently disabled.
- isAutohealEnabled: If present, the VNF supports auto-healing. If set
to true, auto-healing is currently enabled. If set to false, auto-healing
is currently disabled.
These configurable properties can be initialized with default values from the VNFD (see note 4).
Configurable properties can be modified with values passed in the request structures
of certain LCM operations, such as the InstantiateVnfRequest structure.
Further, these configurable properties can be created, modified or deleted with the PATCH method.
note 4: Upon creation of the VnfInstance structure, the VNFM shall create and initialize all child attributes
of "vnfConfigurableProperties", "metadata" and "extensions" that were declared in the VNFD with a defined
initial value. The defined initial values can be declared in the VNFD, and/or, in case of "metadata",
obtained from the "CreateVnfRequest" structure. Child attributes of "vnfConfigurableProperties", "metadata"
and "extensions" that have no defined initial value shall not be created, in order to be consistent with the
semantics of the JSON Merge Patch method (see IETF RFC 7396) that interprets null values as deletion request.

Modifying the values of these attributes has no effect on the VNF instance, it only
affects the information represented in the VnfInstance structure.
Metadata that VNF provider foresees shall be declared in the VNFD. The VNFM shall
accept requests to write metadata that are not are declared in the VNFD.
These attributes can be initialized with default values from VNFD and/or with values
passed in the CreateVnfRequest structure (see clause 5.4.2.3.1).

These attributes represent values that are stored persistently in the VnfInstance
structure for consumption by the VNFM, or by the lifecycle management scripts
during the execution of VNF lifecycle management operations.
All extensions that are allowed for the VNF are declared in the VNFD. The declaration of
an extension in the VNFD contains information on whether its presence is optional or
required, and optionally can specify an initial value. See note 2 and note 4.
The VNFM shall reject requests to write extension attributes that are not declared in the VNFD
with a "422 Unprocessable entity" error response as defined in clause 6.4 of ETSI GS NFV SOL 013.
Modifying the values of these attributes has no direct effect on the VNF instance;
however, the modified attribute values can be considered during subsequent VNF
lifecycle management operations, which means that the modified values can indirectly
affect the configuration of the VNF instance.
These attributes can be initialized with default values from the VNFD.
These attributes can be modified with values passed in the request structures of certain LCM operations,
such as the InstantiateVnfRequest structure
Further, these attributes can be created, modified or deleted with the PATCH method.
