Abstract
The present disclosure provides for managing a software function. The system determines that a service instance is to call the software function and, in response, initiates a call request for the software function to a management component The call request includes identification information and an operation parameter of the software function, with the software function shared by a service instance and at least one further service instance deployed and stored in a converged infrastructure architecture independently from the service instance and the at least one further service instance. The system receives a response to the call request from the management component, with the response including a result of execution of the software function based on the operation parameters. The system prevents the need to deploy copies of a common software function of service instances, conserving performance and storage space, and enabling more convenient maintenance, updates, and software function calls.
