The network orchestrator receives a policy for the virtual wide area network from the network operator via the representation, the policy to be implemented at one or more of the virtual connections. The network orchestrator translates the policy for the virtual wide area network into a configuration of an underlying wide area network (WAN). The underlying WAN a plurality of geographically distributed physical computing resources in geographic regions corresponding to the virtual network entities and connections there between.
