Summary:A method including obtaining a plurality of data sets each describing a specific virtualized network function, acquiring and processing control information related to at least one of a communication traffic situation in a communication network for which at least one virtualized network function is implementable and a resource usage situation in a virtualization infrastructure in which at least one virtualized network function can be instantiated, and adjusting an amount and type of at least one virtualized network function instantiated in the virtualization infrastructure for usage in the communication network by, based on the processed control information, selecting at least one virtualized network function from the obtained data sets, instantiating the selected at least one virtualized network function.
