This EPIC support the 5G RAN deployment use-case, specifically PNF Plug`nPlay procedure.

Once implemented, the PNF PnP would allow ONAP to manage the basic lifecycle operations of the PNFs, including registration. After the registration of a PNF within ONAP environment is completed, it is possible to use that PNF in ONAP services, providing requested business functionality.

The PNF PnP requires following changes in the DCAE/VES:

1. VES schema extension (and support) for a new domain: pnfRegistration
2. PRH (PNF Registration Handler) micro-service supports the management of pnf registration (orchestrates the registration flows).

Stories in this EPIC will be covering those enhancements.
