Systems and methods for automatically packaging and deploying virtual network functions based on network interface dependencies and compatibilities

A device, comprising:

• one or more processors, configured to:
• identify, based on information indicating one or more interface dependencies associated with proposed virtual network functions, one or more proposed virtual network functions of the proposed virtual network functions;
• derive, based on information identifying existing virtual network functions associated with an existing network, one or more dependency constraints for the one or more proposed virtual network functions;
• select, based on the deriving, at least one new virtual network function of the one or more proposed virtual network functions;
• and
• generate, based on the at least one new virtual network function, a new deployment layout to be implemented with the existing network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• identify, based on information indicating one or more interface dependencies associated with proposed virtual network functions, one or more proposed virtual network functions of the proposed virtual network functions;
• determine, based on testing the proposed virtual network functions with one or more testing configurations, that the one or more proposed virtual network functions are validated;
• derive, based on determining that one or more proposed virtual network functions are validated and information identifying existing virtual network functions associated with an existing network, one or more dependency constraints for the one or more proposed virtual network functions;
• select, based on the deriving the one or more dependency constraints, at least one new virtual network function of the one or more proposed virtual network functions;
• and
• generate, based on the at least one new virtual network function, a new deployment layout to be implemented with the existing network.
