Abstract: A system may receive order information that may include information identifying a network service, associated with a service provider network, and a service location associated with the network service. The system may determine context information based on the order information that may include information associated with providing the network service to the service location via the service provider network. The system may generate a service order based on the context information. The system may create a virtual network function (VNF) based on the service request. The VNF may be created such that the VNF operates on a computing device associated with the system, and may be configured to provide the network service. The system may insert the VNF into the service provider network to cause the network service to be provided to the service location. The VNF may interact with a physical device of the service provider network.

Abstract: One or more devices may receive a service request. The service request may be associated with providing a network service to a service location and may be associated with a service provider network. The one or more devices may create a virtual network function (VNF), associated with providing the network service, based on the service request. The VNF may be created such that the VNF is hosted by the device, and may be configured to provide the network service. The one or more devices may insert the VNF into the service provider network. The VNF may be inserted to interact with a physical device of the service provider network to allow the network service to be provided to the service location.

Abstract: A device may receive order information that may identify a network service to be provided, via a service provider network, to a service location associated with a customer. The device may determine context information associated with providing the network service. The context information may be determined based on the order information and may include information associated with a virtual network function (VNF) that is to provide the network service to the service location. The device may determine provisioning details associated with the network service. The device may generate a service request that includes the context information and the provisioning details. The device may identify a cloud resource that is to host the VNF. The device may provide the service request to the cloud resource to cause the VNF to be created and inserted into the service provider network.
