Abstract

A method and system for deployment of services for customers. Network service templates (NSTs) are determined, from a permissioned distributed ledger that is distributed between network operator systems of one or more network operators and customer systems. The NSTs include respective descriptions of network characteristics that provide respective logical networks. A subset of the NSTs and a corresponding subset of the network operator systems are selected based on a service description of the first service for deployment of the first service. Instantiation of the subset of the NSTs is requested on the corresponding subset of network operator systems as a subset of network slice instances to form the first service deployed for the first customer.
