DEVICE AND METHOD FOR NETWORK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION ENVIRONMENT

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). An operation method of a control device in a network function virtualization (NFV) environment according to various embodiments of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: determining a virtual compute node corresponding to a server device; identifying physical layer information related to the server device and virtual layer information related to the virtual compute node; and displaying the physical layer information and the virtual layer information. Therefore, various embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user to easily identify a virtual layer element and/or a physical layer element which causes malfunction, and enable the malfunction to be quickly resolved.
