Abstract
The communication network system according to the present disclosure comprises: a life cycle manager (LCM) that transmits a request for virtual network function (VNF) setting to one or more clouds; and a cloud adapter that mediates communication between the LCM and the cloud to which the request is addressed, The cloud adapter creates, based on a response to the request from the cloud to which the request is addressed, a common-format management ID independent of the type of the cloud to which the request is addressed, and transmits the management ID to the LCM. The LCM may transmit a query regarding a processing status of the request to the cloud adapter, including the management ID. The cloud adapter may recognize the cloud to which the query is addressed on the basis of the management ID and query the cloud to which the query is addressed such that the cloud returns the processing status.
