South Bound Components
- VIMs: Register the VIMs in each location of the platform that will be used in each location for hosting network services as part of network slices
- NFVOs: Register the NFVOs in the platform that will be responsible for the management of the network services
- WIM (Optional): Register the WIM in the platform that will be responsible for managing the Transport Network part of the Slice. If no WIM is added during a slice creation phase, the slice will still be created, but the Transport Network will not be configured
- EMS (Optional): Register the EMSs that will be responsible for configuring the RAN functions that will be part of the Slice. If no EMS is added during a slice creation phase, the slice will still be created, but the RAN functions will not be configured
- PDUs (Optional): Register the PDUs in the platform that will be used for hosting PNFs. It is mandatory to add a PDU if the slice includes the deployment of PNFs
