Hi,

In Tacker, while deploying VNFD can we pass a file ( parameter file) and keep it at a defined path using cloud-config way?

Like in generic hot templates, we have the below-mentioned way to pass a file directly as below:

parameters:
  foo:
    default: bar

resources:

  the_server:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    properties:
      # flavor, image etc
      user_data:
        str_replace:
          template: {get_file: the_server_boot.sh}
          params:
            $FOO: {get_param: foo}

but when using this approach in Tacker BaseHOT it gives an error saying 

"nstantiation wait failed for vnf 77693e61-c80e-41e0-af9a-a0f702f3a9a7, error: VNF Create Resource CREATE failed: resources.obsvrnnu62mb: resources.CAS_0_group.Property error: resources.soft_script.properties.config: No content found in the "files" section for get_file path: Files/scripts/install.py

"

do we have a defined way to use the hot capability in TACKER?

Objective: 

To pass a file at a defined path on the VDU after the VDU is instantiated/launched.
