Abstract:
A life cycle management method and device for a network service are provided. The method includes determining, by an operation support system (OSS) according to a target network service (NS), an existing virtualized network function (VNF) instance required for life cycle management on the target NS; sending, by the OSS, a life cycle management request of the target NS to a network function virtualization orchestrator (NFVO), where the life cycle management request includes a mapping relationship between an identifier of the existing VNF instance and a characteristic parameter corresponding to the identifier; and receiving, by the NFVO, the life cycle management request from the OSS for the target NS, and performing life cycle management on the target NS according to the existing VNF instance and the mapping relationship. In embodiments of the present disclosure, processing efficiency of life cycle management and resource utilization can be improved.

Claim (Index 17):
The OSS according to  claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:\n determine, according to the life cycle management requirement information, the target NSD and the existing VNF instance required for life cycle management on the target NS, wherein the target NSD is a descriptor of the target NS; and determine, according to instantiation information of the existing VNF instance and the multiple pieces of VNF instance requirement information required by the target NSD, the identifier of the existing VNF instance and the characteristic parameter corresponding to the identifier.
