Abstract
This application provides a method for deploying a virtualized network function and an apparatus. A VNFM determines first resource information of a resource pre-allocated to the external connection point of the load balancer and/or the external name, and sends the first resource information to a container infrastructure service management CISM. The CISM may create the external connection point of the load balancer and/or the external name based on a partial of or the entire of the resource indicated by the first resource information. A mechanism of deploying a plurality of types of services in the VNF to serve as external connection points is provided.
Claims20
A method for deploying a virtualized network function, comprising:
- determining first resource information, wherein the first resource information indicates a resource pre-allocated to an external connection point of a first type, the external connection point is an ingress for accessing the virtualized network function VNF by an external node, and the first type is a load balancer and/or an external name;
- and
- sending the first resource information to a container infrastructure service management CISM, wherein the resource indicated by the first resource information is used to create the external connection point of the first type.
A method for deploying a virtualized network function, comprising:
- receiving an instantiation request from a network functions virtualization orchestrator NFVO, wherein the instantiation request is used to request to instantiate a virtualized network function VNF;
- and
- sending a resource authorization request to the NFVO, wherein the resource authorization request comprises a first resource parameter, the first resource parameter is used to determine first resource information, the first resource information indicates a resource pre-allocated to an external connection point of a first type, and the external connection point is an ingress for accessing the virtualized network function VNF by an external node.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a processing module, configured to determine first resource information, wherein the first resource information indicates a resource pre-allocated to an external connection point of a first type, the external connection point is an ingress for accessing a virtualized network function VNF by an external node, and the first type is a load balancer and/or an external name;
- and
- a transceiver module, configured to send the first resource information to a CISM, wherein the resource indicated by the first resource information is used to create the external connection point of the first type.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver module, configured to:
- receive an instantiation request from a network functions virtualization orchestrator NFVO, wherein the instantiation request is used to request to instantiate a virtualized network function VNF;
- and send a resource authorization request to the NFVO, wherein the resource authorization request comprises a first resource parameter, the first resource parameter is used to determine first resource information, the first resource information indicates a resource pre-allocated to an external connection point of a first type, and the external connection point is an ingress for accessing the virtualized network function VNF by an external node.
