Abstract:
It is disclosed a method, an arrangement and a computer program for configuring a secure domain, SD, in a network functions virtualization infrastructure. The SD comprises virtual objects handling privileged information. NS instance information of a virtual object is obtained based on input from a party associated with the SD. The NS instance information is searched for a level of confidentiality and a geographic location information. When having identified the level of confidentiality and the geographic location information, the virtual object is allocated to the SD according to the geographic location information, based on the level of confidentiality and a specific role of the party. It is an advantage that access to a SD is allowed or granted based on the specific role of the party.
