Method and device for realizing virtual network feature (VNF) deployment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for realizing virtual network feature (VNF) deployment. The method comprises steps of pre-establishing a mapping relationship between a VNF service role model and an automated configuration command, installing an automated deployment proxy on the cloud host and performing registration with regard to a cloud host required to deploy a VNF instance, and converting a received VNF deployment command into an automated configuration command and executing the command so as to realize VNF deployment according to the pre-established mapping relationship and with regard to a deployed cloud host. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, through pre-arranged mapping relationships between different types of VNF services, roles, relationship models and instantiation scripts and automated configuration commands, and by using simple operations of an automated configuration tool, automated deployment of large numbers of VNFs can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to network function virtualization technology, in particular to a method and device for implementing virtualization network element (VNF) deployment based on virtualization scenarios. Background technique [0002] In the traditional telecom market, in order to meet the growing business needs, operators often need to add a lot of hardware devices, and many of these hardware devices belong to different manufacturers, and the software products provided by these manufacturers run on different hardware devices and operating systems. Above, some even use some proprietary hardware, which requires a lot of manpower and financial resources to configure during installation and deployment, and sometimes with software upgrades, existing equipment cannot be reused, and new hardware The procurement, deployment, and activation of the network will take a long time. In this way, the opening of new services is seriously affected, and equip...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In terms of the traditional VNF deployment mentioned above, the manual method can only complete the deployment of one or more VNF instances of the same type at a time, that is, the deployment of cloud hosts created using the same VNF image; the relevant parameters of VNF instantiation configuration need to be manually It is easy to make mistakes when inputting and performing related configurations, and requires high skills for users. Moreover, the instantiation configuration of VNFs is performed manually. When a large number of VNFs need to be instantiated, it is not conducive to the rapid delivery of the project.
