1. A cloud computing system comprising: a plurality of compute resources; and a plurality of memory resources, wherein: a first portion of the plurality of memory resources comprises virtual machine monitor instructions that, when executed by a first portion of the plurality of compute resources, cause the first portion of the plurality of compute resources to perform first operations comprising instantiating a plurality of virtual network functions, each of the plurality of virtual network functions comprising network function instructions, a second portion of the plurality of memory resources comprises the network function instructions that, when executed by a second portion of the plurality of compute resources, cause the second portion of the plurality of compute resources to perform second operations comprising providing, at least in part, a telecommunication service, and a third portion of the plurality of memory resources comprises virtual zone instructions that, when executed by a third portion of the plurality of compute resources, cause the third portion of the plurality of compute resources to perform third operations comprising logically grouping the plurality of virtual network functions into a plurality of virtual zones, each of the plurality of virtual zones providing, via a portion of the plurality of virtual network functions, at least in part, the telecommunication service within a geographical region independent of a physical location of the plurality of compute resources.
