1. A method of allocating resources of a network infrastructure in order to provide a telecommunication service, wherein the method comprises:
receiving, by a resource orchestrator, a request to instantiate virtualized functions on virtual machines associated to servers, each server comprising a physical computing device;
determining servers to be allocated, based on the instantiation request;
determining resources of the network infrastructure enabling optimal connectivity between the servers, based on the instantiation request and on the determined servers, wherein at least one of the determined resources of the network infrastructure comprises at least one of a firewall, a switch and a router;
sending, to the determined resources, a network configuration request enabling connectivity between the determined servers; and
sending, to the determined servers, a request to allocate computing capacity on the determined servers.
