16. A method, comprising:
generating, using at least one processor, a software bundle that includes both a network function (NF) software application and a management manifest; and
providing, using the at least one processor, the software bundle for deployment in one or more cloud computing environments, wherein inclusion of the management manifest with the NF software application in the software bundle facilitates utilization of the management manifest for monitoring and management of a system that results from the deployment of the NF software application in the one or more cloud computing environments, and wherein the management manifest specifies one or more interfaces that are usable to obtain information regarding expected capacities of the system.
