Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a virtualized network function resource management method and device. The method includes: sending, by a virtual network function manager (VNFM) device, a preprocessing request message to an element manager (EM) device, where the preprocessing request message is used to request the EM device to perform a resource pre-scaling-in on a virtual network function (VNF) instance, and the resource pre-scaling-in includes migrating a service hosted in a virtualization container on which the resource pre-scaling-in needs to be performed; and performing, by the VNFM device, the resource scaling-in on the VNF instance after determining that the EM device completes the resource pre-scaling-in. According to the method and apparatus provided in the embodiments of this application, preprocessing can be performed on the virtualization container, and the service hosted in the virtualization container can be migrated to avoid being damaged during the resource scaling-in.
