Embodiments are provided herein for creating virtual networks with service chains, such as n-tier networks, in the cloud. In an embodiment, a network diagram for a virtual network is received from a user via a graphical user interface. The network diagram comprises elements that represent virtual or physical network components. The network components include switches, routers, firewalls, links, service appliances, virtual machines, servers, or other network components. Upon successfully validating the network diagram, via a validation step, the network diagram is compiled into application programming interface (API) calls ready for execution. The executed APIs are used to establish the virtual network on a physical network infrastructure. The virtual network comprises virtual network components corresponding to the elements or the network diagram. |
