Abstract: Examples described herein relate to techniques for concurrent deployment of a set of network function (NF) instances of a network slice. In some examples, each NF instance may be registered at the NRF with its status indicator set to DEPLOYING. Further, a determination may be performed if a first NF instance is waiting to be deployed and deployment of the first NF instance is dependent on a second NF instance that is pending deployment. Responsive to the determination, a status indicator of the first NF instance may be updated from DEPLOYING to WAIT_REGISTERING. Further, the first NF instance may subscribe to be notified at the NRF of a change in the status indicator of the second NF instance. Responsive to being notified, the first NF instance may update its status indicator to REGISTERED, such that the first NF instance is discoverable by other NF instances of the set of NF instances.
