Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated deployment and management of network functions in multi-vendor cloud networks. A service provider system can create at least one repository structure to hold at least one pipeline, at least one artifact, at least one image, and code used to create a network function defined by a vendor. The service provider system can create a secrets management structure for the network function. The service provider system can define a schema to support environment variables for a network function type of the network function. The service provider system can create instance specific data to satisfy the schema required for the network function type and can store the at least one artifact into a framework defined during a design phase. The service provider system can instruct the at least one repository structure to exhibit version control and change management behavior.
