The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a policy-driven homing service system that can receive, from a master service orchestrator, a demand specifying a service component to be used to provide, at least in part, a service. The system can receive, from a policy system, a homing constraint. The system can determine, for the demand, an initial set of all potential candidates. The system can apply the homing constraint to each potential candidate in the initial set of all potential candidates. The system can determine a resultant set of potential solutions that satisfy the homing constraint. The system can determine a best solution from the resultant set of potential solutions. The system can send the best solution to the master service orchestrator, which instantiates the demand based upon the best solution.
