1. A computer-implemented method for deploying a site network service (SNS) design in a computing system, the method comprising:
receiving a network function (NF) design;
transferring the NF design to a data store;
generating a network service (NS) design, wherein the NS design comprises a reference to a NF design from the data store and a NS configuration comprising information for partially configuring the referenced NF design;
validating at least one of the NF design or the NS design prior to storage in the data store, wherein validating the NS design comprises detecting errors relating to an arrangement of a plurality of NF designs comprised by the NS design;
transferring the NS design to the data store; and
deploying a SNS design, wherein the SNS design comprises a reference to the NS design from the data store and a SNS configuration, wherein the SNS configuration comprises information for fully configuring the NF design referenced by the NS design.
