A system and method for deploying a virtual network function (VNF) are disclosed. Deploying a VNF includes receiving a request to instantiate a VNF in a network virtualization infrastructure, obtaining input from a user providing parameters needed for performing the instantiation of the VNF, determining a type of deployment for the VNF, and adding parameters inferred from the type of deployment to the user data to complete the parameters needed for deployment of the VNF, wherein the added parameters are inferred based on stored data regarding previous instantiations of the VNF. Determining the type of deployment for the VNF includes determining a number of instances of the VNFs to be deployed and a number of virtual infrastructure managers that will be instructed to deploy resources needed by the VNF.

Inference engine for configuration parameters in a network functions virtualization orchestrator

A system and method for orchestrating distributed operations to be executed in a distributed computing system with multiple virtual infrastructures uses a distributed operation descriptor to find any Cloud-Native Network Function (CNF) entry in the distributed operation descriptor. For each found CNF entry, a CNF descriptor is retrieved from a CNF catalog and parsed to find an overridable property for a CNF described in the CNF descriptor for which a property override is defined. Then, a target virtual infrastructure is selected from the multiple virtual infrastructures to perform a lifecycle management operation of the CNF. Instructions are then transmitted to a local operator in the target virtual infrastructure with the property override so that information regarding the CNF is transmitted to a local orchestrator of the target virtual infrastructure to perform the lifecycle management operation of the CNF at the target virtual infrastructure using the property override.

System and method for distributed orchestration management in network function virtualization

System and method for managing public internet protocol (IP) addresses for a group of virtual data centers utilize a virtual overlay network to route communications between the virtual data centers and a public network through a virtual edge router of one of the virtual data centers using a public IP address assigned to that virtual edge router.
