SERVICE BASED ARCHITECTURE MANAGEMENT

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to service based architecture management. A method of service based architecture management comprises creating, at a management entity, a managed service instance for managing a service associated with a service provider, the managed service instance including a set of attributes associated with the service at least including a state of the managed service instance; transmitting the set of attributes to the service provider, to enable the service provider to activate the service based on the set of attributes; receiving, from the service provider, a service activating message indicating that the service is activated; and updating the state of the managed service instance based on the service activating message. In this way, the network management can be implemented in a NF Service level.
