Abstract: Systems and computing devices may be configured to intelligently apply controls in a telecommunication system that implements or uses network slicing and/or virtualized network function technologies. A computing device may be configured to receive a request to instantiate a new network slice from a component in the telecommunication system. The computing device may determine that a virtualized network function (e.g., C-RAN virtual network function, MEC virtual network function, etc.) should be created for the new network slice, and determine whether a policy allows for the creation of the virtualized network function. The computing device may create the virtualized network function if the policy allows for its creation. The server computing device may be a charging and license management (CALM) component.
