Claim 10:
11. A device for installing a virtualized network function, contributing to the implementation of a communication service, in a first data center of a set of data centers of a virtualized communication architecture, the device implemented in a service operating entity, the service operating entity comprising a processor and a memory, the device configured to:
obtain a profile from a profile management entity, the profile including a set of placement parameters of the virtualized network function specific to the type of the virtualized network function,
determine the first data center of the set based on the obtained profile,
modify the profile by adding a datum identifying the determined first data center, and
send a request comprising the modified profile to an entity for administrating the virtualized architecture, for installation of the virtualized function in the determined first data center.
