Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to remotely testing virtual network functions with edge gateways. A method may include providing an application for receiving user inputs for testing a virtual network function (VNF); receiving, via the application, a first user input associated with adding an image of a virtual machine instance to the application; downloading, via the application, the image based on the first user input; receiving, via the application, a second user input associated with instantiating a service associated with the virtual machine instance; instantiating, via the application, the service based on the second user input; receiving, via the application, a third user input associated with testing the VNF with the edge gateway device using the image and the service; and executing, via the application, a test of the VNF with an edge gateway using the image and the service based on the third user input.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to adaptive virtual services. In an example, a user specifies a device configuration for a platform device. As a result, a service provider installs selected virtual-network functions and defines network connections as specified by the device configuration. Management software may also be installed, thereby enabling the service provider to communicate with and remotely manage the platform device. The installed virtual-network functions are activated on the platform device once it is delivered to the user. In some instances, the user changes the device configuration. For example, the user may install new virtual-network functions, reconfigure or remove existing virtual-network functions, or change defined network connections. As a result, the service provider reconfigures the platform device accordingly. Thus, the user need not purchase new specialized hardware in order to change the available functions of the computer network.
