1. An apparatus comprising:

  • circuitry;

    first logic for execution by the circuitry to receive first performance measurement (PM) data for a virtualized network function (VNF);

    second logic for execution by the circuitry to receive second PM data for network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) arranged to support the VNF; and

    third logic for execution by the circuitry to determine whether to initiate a network services (NS) lifecycle management (LCM) operation with a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO) or a VNF LCM operation with a virtualized network function manager (VNFM) based on implementation of a PM data correlation and detection of threshold crossing function using the first and/or the second PM data.
