1. A method performed by a network slice management function (NSMF) configured to deploy a network slice of a communication system, comprising:
transmitting, based on a network slice requirement, a message requesting a service level agreement (SLA) range for a network slice subnet and a resource according to the SLA range, to a network slice subnet management function (NSSMF) configured to manage the network slice subnet included in network slice subnets associated with the network slice;
receiving mapping information between SLA and deployment flavors of the network slice subnet unit from the NSSMF, the mapping information of the network slice subnet including an SLA value of the SLA range and a resource required according to the SLA value;
generating the network slice based on mapping information of the network slice subnets; and
deploying the generated network slice.
