Instantiate a network instance using AWS TNB - AWS Telco Network Builder

Instantiate a network instance using AWS TNB

After you create a network instance, you must instantiate it. When you instantiate a network instance, AWS TNB provisions the necessary AWS infrastructure, deploys containerized network functions, and configures networking and access management to create a fully operational network service.

Console
To instantiate a network instance using the console

  1. Open the AWS TNB console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/tnb/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Networks.

  3. Select the network instance that you want to instantiate.

  4. Choose Actions and then Instantiate.

  5. On the Instantiate network page, review details and optionally, update parameter values.

    Updates to the parameter values apply only to this network instance. The parameters in the NSD and VNFD packages do not change.

  6. Choose Instantiate network.

    The Deployment status page appears.

  7. Use the Refresh icon to track the deployment status of your network instance. You can also enable Auto refresh in the Deployment tasks section to track the progress of each task.

    When the deployment status changes to Completed, the network instance is instantiated.

AWS CLI
