Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for resource management by a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO). These systems and methods include embodiments whereby a NFVO obtains requirements for a network service lifecycle management (LCM) operation, determines a delegating granting decision for a virtualized network function (VNF) manager (VNFM) associated with the network service LCM operation in accordance with the requirements for the network service LCM operation that grants a permission for the VNFM to perform multiple VNF LCM operations under one or more constraints, and sends the delegating granting decision to the VNFM.
