In view of the current deployment of the Service Function Chain (SFC), the failure importance of the Virtual Network Function (VNF) is not considered,an SFC reliable deployment algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed. Firstly, a reliable mapping model of VNF and virtual links is establised, high reliability requirements is set for important VNFs, and the reliability requirements of virtual links is ensured as much as possible through link deployment length restrictions. Secondly, taking load balancing as the resource coordination principle, joint optimization the VNF reliability is jointly optimized. Finally, the deep reinforcement learning is used to get the service function chain deployment strategy. In addition, node backup and link backup strategies based on importance are proposed to deal with situations where VNF/link reliability is difficult to meet during deployment. Simulation results show that the reliable deployment algorithm in this paper can effectively reduce the failure SFC loss on the basis of ensuring the reliability requirements, and at the same time make the virtual network more stable and reliable.
