Abstract
A method includes receiving metadata for deploying a virtual function on a cloud network. The metadata includes a recipe, policy, and template. The method includes, based on the metadata, designing a cloud plan and a transport plan for deploying the virtual function on the cloud network to meet a forecasted demand. The method includes determining a network configuration to implement the cloud plan and the network plan based on the metadata and causing the cloud network to be configured using the network configuration. The method includes instantiating the virtual function on the configured cloud network.
