Post Vnf Instances
Create VNF Identifier. The POST method creates a new VNF instance resource. This method shall follow the provisions specified in the tables 5.4.2.3.1-1 and 5.4.2.3.1-2 for URI query parameters, request and response data structures, and response codes. As the result of successfully executing this method, a new "Individual VNF instance" resource as defined in clause 5.4.3 shall have been created, and the value of the "instantiationState" attribute in the representation of that resource shall be "NOT_INSTANTIATED". A notification of type VnfIdentifierCreationNotification shall be triggered as part of successfully executing this method as defined in clause 5.5.2.18.
Content-Types that are acceptable for the response. Reference: IETF RFC 7231

}Identifier that identifies the VNFD which defines the VNF instance to be created.
Human-readable name of the VNF instance to be created.
Human-readable description of the VNF instance to be created.
If present, this attribute provides values for the "metadata" attribute in "VnfInstance", as defined in clause 5.5.2.2. If a "metadata" entry in this CreateVnfRequest data structure has a corresponding default value declared in the VNFD, the value in the "metadata" entry in the CreateVnfRequest structure takes precedence.
201 CREATED Shall be returned when a new "Individual VNF instance" resource and the associated VNF instance identifier washas been created successfully. The response body shall contain a representation of the created VNF instance, as defined in clause 5.5.2.2. The HTTP response shall include a "Location" HTTP header that contains the resource URI of the created VNF instance.

}Response Headers

The resource URI of the created VNF instance.
Challenge if the corresponding HTTP request has not provided authorization, or error details if the corresponding HTTP request has provided an invalid authorization token.
Version of the API used in the response.
400 BAD REQUEST 400 code can be returned in the following specified cases, the specific cause has to be proper specified in the "ProblemDetails" structure to be returned. If the request is malformed or syntactically incorrect (e.g. if the request URI contains incorrect query parameters or the payload body contains a syntactically incorrect data structure), the API producer shall respond with this response code. The "ProblemDetails" structure shall be provided, and should include in the "detail" attribute more information about the source of the problem. If the response to a GET request which queries a container resource would be so big that the performance of the API producer is adversely affected, and the API producer does not support paging for the affected resource, it shall respond with this response code. The "ProblemDetails" structure shall be provided, and should include in the "detail" attribute more information about the source of the problem. If there is an application error related to the client's input that cannot be easily mapped to any other HTTP response code ("catch all error"), the API producer shall respond with this response code. The "ProblemDetails" structure shall be provided, and shall include in the "detail" attribute more information about the source of the problem. If the request contains a malformed access token, the API producer should respond with this response. The details of the error shall be returned in the WWW Authenticate HTTP header, as defined in IETF RFC 6750 and IETF RFC 7235. The ProblemDetails structure may be provided. The use of this HTTP error response code described above is applicable to the use of the OAuth 2.0 for the authorization of API requests and notifications, as defined in clauses 4.5.3.3 and 4.5.3.4.

401 UNAUTHORIZED If the request contains no access token even though one is required, or if the request contains an authorization token that is invalid (e.g. expired or revoked), the API producer should respond with this response. The details of the error shall be returned in the WWW-Authenticate HTTP header, as defined in IETF RFC 6750 and IETF RFC 7235. The ProblemDetails structure may be provided.

403 FORBIDDEN If the API consumer is not allowed to perform a particular request to a particular resource, the API producer shall respond with this response code. The "ProblemDetails" structure shall be provided. It should include in the "detail" attribute information about the source of the problem, and may indicate how to solve it.

404 NOT FOUND If the API producer did not find a current representation for the resource addressed by the URI passed in the request or is not willing to disclose that one exists, it shall respond with this response code. The "ProblemDetails" structure may be provided, including in the "detail" attribute information about the source of the problem, e.g. a wrong resource URI variable. This response code is not appropriate in case the resource addressed by the URI is a container resource which is designed to contain child resources, but does not contain any child resource at the time the request is received. For a GET request to an existing empty container resource, a typical response contains a 200 OK response code and a payload body with an empty array.
