Virtual network function deployment method and deployment apparatus

A virtual network function deployment method;

• applied to a virtual network function manager (VNFM), wherein the method comprises:
• receiving third request information, for triggering deployment of a virtual deployment unit (VDU) for a first virtual network function (VNF);
• and
• sending first request information to an infrastructure service manager, wherein the first request information is for requesting to deploy the VDU for the first VNF.

An apparatus for deploying virtual network functions comprising:

• a processor, and
• a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• receive first request information sent by a virtual network function manager (VNFM), wherein the first request information is for requesting to deploy a virtual deployment unit (VDU) for a first virtual network function (VNF);
• create M VDUs for the first VNF, wherein the M VDUs are associated as VDUs in a same group, and M is a positive integer;
• and
• deploy the VDUs in the same group by using a group scheduling method, allocating a resource to each of the VDUs in the same group in one computation periodicity, until each of the VDUs in the same group obtains the corresponding resource or allocation of resources to the entire group of the VDUs in the same group fails, and the computation periodicity is for computing the corresponding resource for each of the VDUs in the same group.
