Abstract
Examples relate to determining virtual network function configurations. In one example, a computing device may receive a virtual network function specifying a particular function to be performed by at least one virtual machine; identify a particular performance metric for the virtual network function; determine, using the particular performance metric and a default resource configuration, a first infrastructure configuration specifying a value for each of a plurality of infrastructure options, each of the plurality of infrastructure options specifying a feature of the at least one virtual machine; and determine, using the particular performance metric and the first infrastructure configuration, a first resource configuration specifying a value for each of a plurality of virtualized hardware resources for the at least one virtual machine.
