1. A method, implemented by a computing system, of managing orchestration of a back-up service for an original service, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of successful deployment of at least a first part of the original service from a first network domain, wherein the at least first part of the original service comprises at least a first network function;
responsive to the indication, transmitting a restoration preparation request to the first network domain to request that the first network domain initiate determination of the back-up service for the first part of the original service, the back-up service comprising a first back-up network domain capable of deploying the first network function, wherein the first back-up network domain is different to a first original network domain deploying the first network function in the original service;
responsive to transmitting the restoration preparation request, receiving a restoration response comprising an indication of the back-up service; and
determining the first part of the original service as comprising a plurality of network functions, wherein the plurality of network functions have affinity.
