Abstract
This application discloses a VNF service instantiation method and apparatus. The method is performed by a network functions virtualization orchestrator NFVO or a virtualized network function manager VNFM. The method includes: receiving a virtualized network function VNF instantiation request message; obtaining deployment information of a container service instance that needs to be invoked for VNF instantiation; determining one or more container as service clusters CaaS clusters based on the deployment information of the container service instance, and sending a container service instance creation request to a container as service manager CaaS manager in each of the one or more CaaS clusters; and receiving a container service instance creation success message from the CaaS manager. According to the foregoing solution, problems of cross-site deployment and management of a container service in an NFV scenario are resolved.
