Claim 14:
15. A system for performing self-healing in a distributed network, comprising:
a non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to perform stages for network function virtualization self-healing, the stages comprising:
receiving, at an evaluator engine, key performance indicator (“KPI”) information relating to a virtual network function (“VNF”) in a distributed network;
receiving, at the evaluator engine, a physical fault notification for a physical device in the distributed network;
mapping hardware information associated with the physical device to the KPI information based on the VNF operating on the physical device;
comparing the KPI information against a dynamic threshold that adjusts based on the physical fault information and historical KPI information; and
using the dynamic threshold comparison, automatically performing a remedial action in the distributed network.
