Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a system for deploying a VNF using NEC are provided. The method is as follows: After receiving first location information sent by a user terminal, a central VNFC sends, to a VNFM, a creation request message that is used to create an edge VNFC, where the creation request message carries the first location information. After receiving the creation request message, the VNFM sends, to a VIM, a first request message that is used to create a virtual machine or a container of the edge VNFC, where the first request message carries the first location information and a mirror of the edge VNFC. In this way, it can be implemented that a deployment location of the edge VNFC is proximate to a user in a NEC scenario, thereby reducing a service delay and improving quality of service.
