摘要： A Virtual Network Function (VNF) is provided for deployment in a Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI). First, an input is obtained that includes a description of available software components, configuration requirements specifying service types to be provided by the VNF, and infrastructure information specifying resources provided by the NFVI. The infrastructure information includes characteristics of virtual machines (VMs). For each service type, a VNF component (VNFC) configuration is generated. The generated VNFC configuration optimizes usage of the resources and satisfies requested service availability. A VNF configuration is formed that includes a collection of VNFC configurations created for the service types. The VNF configuration is delivered to a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) system for the deployment of VNFC instances on the VMs thereby providing the VNF.
