1. A virtual network function deployment method, comprising:
obtaining a virtual network function descriptor (VNFD), wherein the VNFD comprises input parameter information, input adaptation information, and virtual network function (VNF) descriptor information, and wherein the input parameter information comprises N pieces of management unit information and each piece of management unit information is used to describe an attribute of a management unit, and wherein the attribute of the management unit comprises a type and a name of the management unit, and wherein the input adaptation information is used to indicate a mapping relationship between the management unit and a logical management unit, and wherein the VNF descriptor information is used to indicate to deploy a VNF on N logical management units and N is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
obtaining N management unit identifiers, wherein a capacity of a management unit corresponding to a management unit identifier is the same as a capacity of a fault domain corresponding to the management unit;
mapping management units corresponding to the N management unit identifiers to the N logical management units based on the input adaptation information; and
creating the VNF on the N logical management units based on the VNF descriptor information.
