Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed related to allocation of hardware resources for virtual network function (VNF) deployment at sites based on templates. A design template defines hardware resources to allocate for a service, and a deployment policy defines deployment of the virtual network functions (VNFs) associated with the service to the hardware resources. Hardware resources are allocated at one or more sites based on the design template to host VNFs for the service, and VNFs are deployed to the hardware resources based upon the deployment policy.
