1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
acquire redundant configuration information contained in network definition information from a Management and Orchestration (MANO) implementation apparatus, the MANO implementation apparatus performing instantiation of network functions by using the network definition information that contains the redundant configuration information and implementing MANO for the network functions, the redundant configuration information being information about a redundant configuration of the network functions; and
propose an update sequence of nodes in updating software of the nodes that execute processing for providing the network functions, based on the redundant configuration information.
