1. An automated process comprising:
writing, by a global controller in a first computing environment, a first job and a second job to a global database to implement a template of a network function in a first cloud environment and a second cloud environment, wherein the global controller orchestrates a first container cluster, wherein the template comprises a memory specification, a processing specification, a network specification, and a security specification;
executing, by a first macro controller in the first cloud environment, the first job from the global database to instantiate the network function in the first cloud environment, wherein the first macro controller orchestrates a second container cluster that is a member of the first container cluster;
executing, by a second macro controller in the second cloud environment, the second job from the global database to instantiate the network function in the second cloud environment, wherein the second macro controller orchestrates a third container cluster that is a member of the first container cluster; and
generating, by the first macro controller, a targeted template using a library specific to the first cloud environment, wherein the targeted template implements the memory specification, the processing specification, the network specification, and the security specification using commands native to the first cloud environment.
