1. A method for provisioning a virtual network, the method comprising:

  • receiving network configuration data for a virtual network, the network configuration data including network address data for one or more network components of the virtual network;

    generating, with one or more processors, a first instance of the virtual network based on the network configuration data, the first instance comprising one or more virtual network components associated with the network address data;

    operating the first instance of the virtual network on a computing system;

    determining that a workload of the first instance exceeded a workload threshold;

    based at least in part on the determination, generating, with one or more processors, a second instance of the virtual network, wherein the second instance is configured based, at least in part, on the network configuration data, the second instance comprising one or more virtual network components associated with the network address data; and

    directing work requests for the virtual network to one or more of the first instance and the at second instance of the virtual network;

    wherein the network addresses of the one or more virtual network components of the first instance are identical to the network addresses of the one or more virtual network components of the second instance.
