Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method determines population density of UEs (user equipment) for the particular geographic region. Based on the determined population density, the method divides the particular geographic region into a set of sub-regions. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, the method simulates performance of the telecommunications network to explore multiple configurations for access nodes that connect UEs in the sub-region to the telecommunications network. Each configuration in the multiple configurations is defined based on population density of the sub-region. The method selects a particular configuration for access nodes from the multiple configurations for use in defining a deployment of the telecommunications network.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining compute resource deployments in a telecommunications network for a particular geographic region divided into a set of sub-regions, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network, the compute resources for consumption by a set of non-telephony applications that are deployed in the telecommunications network to provide respective sets of services to multiplicities of UEs (user equipment) connected to the telecommunications network in the particular geographic region. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, the method defines multiple compute resource deployments for the telecommunications network, each compute resource deployment in the multiple compute resource deployments specifying a respective set of locations in non-core networks at which to deploy compute resources for consumption by the set of non-telephony applications based on respective application requirements associated with each non-telephony application in the set of non-telephony applications. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, for each compute resource deployment in the defined multiple compute resource deployments, the method simulates performance of the telecommunications network based on the compute resource deployment. The method uses sets of performance metrics resulting from simulating performance of the telecommunications network to select a particular compute resource deployment from the defined multiple compute resource deployments to deploy for the telecommunications network.

Abstract: A method of deploying a network service (NS) across multiple data centers includes identifying virtual network functions (VNFs) associated with the NS in response to a request for or relating to the NS, generating commands to deploy VNFs based on VNF descriptors, and issuing the commands to the data centers to deploy VNFs. The data centers each have a cloud management server in which cloud computing management software is run to provision virtual infrastructure resources thereof for a plurality of tenants. The cloud computing management software of a first data center is different from the cloud computing management software of a second data center, and the commands issued to the first and second data centers are each a generic command that is not in a command format of the cloud computing management software of either the first data center or the second data center.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that generates (i) a node profile of a worker node in a workload cluster for deploying a first network function and (ii) a host profile of a virtual machine that implements the workload cluster and a management cluster that manages the workload cluster. The method updates a configuration map of the worker node based on the node profile. The method uses a node configuration operator in a remote data center to configure the worker node based on the configuration map. The method uses a virtual machine configuration operator in the remote data center to configure one or more nodes of the management cluster based on the host profile.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region comprised of a set of sub-regions, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network. For each UE of multiple UEs distributed across the particular geographic region, the method selects a traffic category from a set of traffic categories to associate with the UE, and based on the selected traffic category, the method uses an application traffic model to compute an upper threshold limit of an attainable data rate for the UE. For each link of multiple transport links that connect the multiple UEs to the telecommunications network, the method determines a link capacity for each transport link based on the upper threshold limits of the attainable data rates computed for each UE of the multiple UEs. The method simulates performance of the telecommunications network based on the determined link capacities for the multiple transport links. When a set of performance metrics resulting from simulating performance of the telecommunications network meet a performance threshold specified for the telecommunications network, the method uses the determined link capacities to define the telecommunications network deployment for the particular geographic region.
