Out of the box, OpenDaylight deploys a minimal runtime environment. We can alter this base runtime to include applications that your environment requires to be present. For the purposes of this recipe, applications are considered as the set of feature targets that implement an application. See the recipe, Deploying applications using features for more information on the Apache Karaf feature mechanism.
