Abstract
A system includes one or more devices that include processors. The processors are configured to: receive a request to deploy a network slice within a network, retrieve network service descriptors, from a database, associated with the network slice; and instantiate the network slice within the network based on the network service descriptors.
Claims20
A system comprising one or more devices that include processors, wherein the processors are configured to:
- receive a request to deploy a network service, associated with a network slice, within a network;
- retrieve at least an infrastructure profile and a configuration for the network service;
- and
- deploy the network slice and the network service within the network using the infrastructure profile and the configuration, wherein when the processors deploy the network slice and the network service, the processors are configured to:
- generate network service descriptors based on the infrastructure profile and the configuration for the network service;
- and
- instantiate the network slice and the network service within the network based on the network service descriptors.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to deploy a network service, associated with a network slice, within a network;
- retrieving at least an infrastructure profile and a configuration for the network service;
- and
- deploying the network slice and the network service within the network using the infrastructure profile and the configuration, wherein deploying the network slice and the network service includes:
- generating network service descriptors based on the infrastructure profile and the configuration for the network service;
- and
- instantiating the network slice and the network service within the network based on the network service descriptors.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising processor-executable instructions, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a request to deploy a network service, associated with a network slice, within a network;
- retrieve at least an infrastructure profile and a configuration for the network service;
- and
- deploy the network slice and the network service within the network using the infrastructure profile and the configuration, wherein when the one or more processors deploy the network slice and the network service, the one or more processors are to:
- generate network service descriptors based on the infrastructure profile and the configuration for the network service;
- and
- instantiate the network slice and the network service within the network based on the network service descriptors.
