Systems and methods for instantiating services on top of services

An orchestrator of a cloud computing environment, the orchestrator comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a computer-readable medium connected to the processing device configured to store information and instructions that, when executed by the processing device, performs the operations of:
• receiving a request for deployment of the application, wherein the request includes at least an intent-based solution model, and the intent-based solution model is non-executable;
• translating the intent-based solution model into a plurality of service functions, wherein the service functions are executable;
• recursively instantiating the plurality of service functions, wherein recursively instantiating the plurality of service functions includes, for each service function of the plurality of service functions beginning at a lowest level service:
• determining whether the cloud computing environment has sufficient resources to instantiate a service function of the plurality of service functions and compliance with one or more network policies;
• in response to the cloud computing environment having sufficient resources to instantiate the service function and compliance with the one or more network policies, instantiate the service function at the cloud computing environment;
• in response to the cloud computing environment not having sufficient resources to instantiate the service function or and not complying with one or more network policies, pausing instantiation, updating the intent-based solution model, re-translating the updated solution model, and begin instantiating an updated service function to an environment with sufficient resources and that complies with one or more network policies;
• and
• deploying the distributed application at least partially on a computing device with the instantiated plurality of service functions at the cloud computing environment and the environment with sufficient resources.

A system for managing a cloud computing environment, the system comprising:

• at least one computing device;
• and
• an orchestrator of the cloud computing environment configured to:
• receive a request for deployment of a distributed application, the request including at least an intent-based solution model, and the intent-based solution model is non-executable;
• translating the intent-based solution model into a plurality of service functions wherein the service functions are executable;
• recursively instantiate the plurality of service functions, wherein recursively instantiating the plurality of service functions includes, for each service function of the plurality of service functions beginning at a lowest level service:
• determining whether the cloud computing environment has sufficient resources to instantiate a service function and compliance with one or more network policies;
• in response to the cloud computing environment having sufficient resources to instantiate the service function and compliance with the one or more network policies, instantiate the service function at the cloud computing environment;

• and
• deploy the distributed application at least partially on the computing device with the instantiated plurality of service functions at the cloud computing environment and the environment with sufficient resources.
