Nokia Exam BL0-220 Topic 1 Question 3 Discussion

On-Boarding of a Network Service requires both NS and NF templates. NS stands for Network Service, which is a logical grouping of network functions and resources that provide a specific functionality or service to the end user. NF stands for Network Function, which is a software component that performs a specific task or function within the network. Templates are files that describe the characteristics, requirements, and dependencies of network services and network functions. On-Boarding is the process of registering and validating network services and network functions in the cloud platform, so that they can be instantiated and managed.

On-boarding a Network Service typically involves Network Service (NS) and Network Function (NF) templates. NS templates define the overall structure and requirements of a network service, including its composition of various NFs and their interconnections. NF templates specify the configurations for individual network functions that are part of the service. Together, they enable the automated deployment and management of complex network services in a standardized manner.
