Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a method, an apparatus, and a system for managing a network slice instance. The method includes: receiving, by a first network device, a network slice instance creation request from a transmit end device, to request to create a target network slice instance; sending, by the first network device, network function configuration indication information to a second network device based on the description information, to instruct the second network device to configure a network function of the target network slice instance; receiving, by the first network device, network function configuration response information sent by the second network device, to indicate that the configuration of the network function of the target network slice instance is completed; and sending, by the first network device, network slice instance creation response information to the transmit end device.
