Abstract

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.
