Abstract
Technologies for the hierarchical clustering of hardware resources in network function virtualization (NFV) deployments include a compute node that is configured to create a network function profile that includes a plurality of network functions to be deployed on the compute node. Additionally, the compute node is configured to translate the network function profile usable to identify which of the plurality of network functions are to be managed by each of the plurality of interconnected hardware resources into a hardware profile for each of a plurality of interconnected hardware resources. The compute node is further configured to deploy each of the plurality of network functions to one or more of the plurality of interconnected hardware resources based on the hardware profile. Other embodiments are described herein.
