Abstract: A system and method for orchestrating distributed operations to be executed in a distributed computing system with multiple virtual infrastructures uses a distributed operation descriptor to find any Cloud-Native Network Function (CNF) entry in the distributed operation descriptor. For each found CNF entry, a CNF descriptor is retrieved from a CNF catalog and parsed to find an overridable property for a CNF described in the CNF descriptor for which a property override is defined. Then, a target virtual infrastructure is selected from the multiple virtual infrastructures to perform a lifecycle management operation of the CNF. Instructions are then transmitted to a local operator in the target virtual infrastructure with the property override so that information regarding the CNF is transmitted to a local orchestrator of the target virtual infrastructure to perform the lifecycle management operation of the CNF at the target virtual infrastructure using the property override.

Abstract: A system and method for deploying a virtual network function (VNF) are disclosed. Deploying a VNF includes receiving a request to instantiate a VNF in a network virtualization infrastructure, obtaining input from a user providing parameters needed for performing the instantiation of the VNF, determining a type of deployment for the VNF, and adding parameters inferred from the type of deployment to the user data to complete the parameters needed for deployment of the VNF, wherein the added parameters are inferred based on stored data regarding previous instantiations of the VNF. Determining the type of deployment for the VNF includes determining a number of instances of the VNFs to be deployed and a number of virtual infrastructure managers that will be instructe

Abstract: A method of collecting and reporting inventory of resources deployed in a data center that includes hardware resources, a virtualization management software executed to provision virtual resources from the hardware resources, and a cloud management server executed to provision the virtual resources for tenants of the data center, includes the steps of: executing a first API call to the virtualization management software to collect first inventory of virtual resources deployed in the data center and a second API call to the cloud computing management software to collect second inventory of virtual resources deployed in the data center; storing the first and second inventory; and in response to an inventory request from a central orchestrator, initially sending a subset of the stored first and second inventory to the central orchestrator in accordance with parameters included in the inventory request, and thereafter sending updates to the subset to the central orchestrator periodically.
