Original Abstract Submitted

a network function virtualization (nfv) orchestration service includes a centralized orchestration device and a multi-cluster container management (mccm) platform. the centralized orchestration device stores a catalog of virtual network function descriptors (vnfds) in an input language; generates, based on the catalog of vnfds, intents for containerized network function (cnf) services; and stores the generated intents as blocks in a central intent database, wherein the blocks include an input data model for the cnf services. the mccm platform includes one or more processors to receive and store a copy of the intent database; read design time policies from the copy of the intent database; and convert the input data model into a vendor-specific output data model in an output language.
