Bootstrap Service latest

The VMware Centralized RIC bootstrapping service provides a single versionless and unauthenticated entry point to discover the R1 service registry. It is the only endpoint a service needs to know in advance to gain access to services. By default a request is made to http://bootstrapper:8080/ to learn of the service endpoint.

The bootstrapping service provides a pre-release API that is likely to change as O-RAN Alliance standards mature.

The response is formatted to allow for future expansion.

At startup, an rApp or R1 service should make a GET request to the bootstrapping service to find the Service Registry and register with it.

GET http://bootstrapper:8080/
