Abstract
An information processing unit of a communication apparatus includes a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory. A control unit of the communication apparatus loads the boot image from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory upon activation of the communication apparatus, activates the virtual machine template in the loaded boot image on the volatile memory, deactivates the activated virtual machine template after reconfiguring the activated virtual machine template to minimum required configuration to execute a virtual machine. Upon receipt of a request for addition of communication service, the control unit creates a replicate virtual machine template by replicating the deactivated virtual machine template, activates the replicate virtual machine template, reconfigures the activated replicate virtual machine template to configuration according to the request for addition of communication service, and executes the reconfigured replicate virtual machine template as a virtual machine to provide the communication service.
