Technologies for generating service templates to achieve service level agreement (SLA) metrics include a service template generator that accesses a generic service template and an SLA metric specification. The generic service template defines a virtual application service to be provided by a datacenter. The service template generator generates one or more specific service templates based on the generic service template. Each of the specific service templates provides one or more of the specified SLA metrics, such as specified uptime, reliability, or manageability. The generated service templates are stored in a service template catalog. A datacenter manager controlling a number of datacenter nodes receives a service request including one or more SLA requirements, selects a matching service template from the service template catalog, and deploys the selected service template. The service template generator and the datacenter manager may be the same device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
