1. A system, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
transmitting cloud resource configuration instructions to a cloud platform orchestrator to cause the cloud platform orchestrator to create cloud resources at appropriate data centers as specified by a cloud resource configuration template extracted from a cloud services archive file describing topology and network requirements of a virtualized service in a cloud infrastructure; and
obtaining application dependency information generated from the cloud services archive file and describing the virtualized service, wherein the application dependency information is stored in a runtime inventory data store reflecting a latest state of the cloud infrastructure, and wherein the application dependency information is updated by the cloud platform orchestrator to the latest state of the cloud infrastructure after creating the cloud resources at the appropriate data centers.
