  /**
   * <p>Tacker - OpenStack NFV Orchestration</p>
   *
   * <p>Tacker is an official OpenStack project building a Generic VIM Manager (VIMM) and a NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) to deploy and operate
   * Network Services and Virtual Network Functions (VIMs) on an NFV infrastructure platform like OpenStack.
   * It is based on ETSI MANO Architectural Framework and provides a functional stack to Orchestrate Network Services end-to-end using VIMs.</p>
   *
   * <p>
   * <u>NFVO</u>:
   * <ul>
   * 		<li>Templatized end-to-end Network Service deployment using decomposed VIMs.</li>
   * 		<li>VIM placement policy – ensure efficient placement of VIMs.</li>
   * 		<li>VIMs connected using an SFC - described in a VIM Forwarding Graph Descriptor.</li>
   * 		<li>VIM Resource Checks and Resource Allocation.</li>
   * 		<li>Ability to orchestrate VIMs across Multiple VIMs and Multiple Sites (POPs).</li>
   * </ul>
   * </p>
