At element 600, the method can comprise receiving, by software-defined networking equipment comprising a processor, network repository function data representative of network functions. At element 602, in response to receiving the network repository function data, the method can comprise storing, by the software-defined networking equipment, the network repository function data in a data store to enable a discovery function associated with the network functions. In response to receiving the network repository function data, at element 604, the method can comprise sending, by the software-defined networking equipment to a server, request data representative of a request for a configuration associated with the network functions. Additionally, at element 606, in response to sending the request data, the method can comprise receiving, by the software-defined networking equipment from the server, notification data representative of a notification that a configuration of the network repository function has been modified. Furthermore, at element 608, in response to receiving the notification data, the method can comprise determining, by the software-defined networking equipment, a service path associated with the network functions.

Referring now to FIG. 7, illustrated is an example flow diagram for a system for facilitation of deep service path discovery for cloud native functions in accordance with one or more embodiments.
