Business deployment method and device in virtualized network

Abstract

The invention provides a business deployment method and device in a virtualized network. According to the method, a virtualized network function manager receives an instantiating request, wherein theinstantiating request comprises a VNF (virtualized Network Function) instance identity and a first deployment preference identity; obtaining a VNF deployment template VNFD (VNF descriptor) according to the VNF instance identity, wherein the VNFD comprises descriptors of at least two potential deployment nodes and at least two deployment preference descriptors, wherein the descriptor of each potential deployment node comprises node information and a deployment condition of the potential deployment node, and each deployment preference descriptor comprises deployment information of a to-be-deployed node corresponding to a deployment preference; determining the node information and deployment information of the to-be-deployed node according to the first deployment preference identity and the VNFD; and sending the determined node information and the deployment information of the to-be-deployed node to a virtualized infrastructure manager. The problem that in the prior art, a business template cannot support business demands of a plurality of deployment preferences is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of information technology, in particular to a method and device for service deployment in a virtualized network. Background technique [0002] Network Function Virtualization (NFV) refers to the use of general-purpose hardware devices and virtualization technology to carry the functions of special-purpose devices in traditional networks, thereby reducing the expensive cost of deploying special-purpose devices. The software is not bound to proprietary hardware, so that network device functions no longer depend on specialized hardware. At the same time, using the characteristics of cloud computing, resources can be fully and flexibly shared to realize the rapid development and deployment of new services, and to perform automatic deployment, elastic scaling, fault isolation and self-healing based on actual business needs. In the NFV architecture, the party that receives the instantiation request and instantiates the cor...
