Abstract
A method and system of deployment of a virtualized service on a cloud infrastructure are described. A first service function specification of a first service function is selected. A determination of a set of the computing systems and a set of the links is performed based on availability and characteristics of the computing systems and the network resources in the cloud infrastructure. A selection of a first computing system to be assigned to host the first service function and links is performed based on the first service function specification and based on interoperability requirements for the first service function and one or more other ones of the service functions that form the virtualized service. The selection of a service function and the determination of a computing system and links is repeated for the remaining service functions until all of the service functions are assigned to resources in the cloud infrastructure.
