Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining a deployment model for deploying rules in a network environment in response to deployment of a contract into the network environment. In some embodiments, a method can include deploying a contract into a network environment. One or more candidate deployment configuration variables can be selected and policy configurations for deploying rules in the network environment as part of implementing policies using the contract can be determined based on the one or more candidate deployment configuration variables. Rule configuration states corresponding to the policy configuration states in the network environment can be identified based on deployment of the one or more contracts in the network environment. Subsequently, a deployment model for implementing the one or more policies in the network environment can be formed based on the policy configurations and the rule configuration states corresponding to the policy configurations.
