Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for transferring an edge computing application. The method includes: receiving, by a first edge computing application of a first edge computing host, a first message sent by an edge computing platform of the first edge computing host, where the first message includes edge computing application information of a second edge computing host; and sending, by the first edge computing application, a second message to a second edge computing application of the second edge computing host according to the edge computing application information of the second edge computing host, where the second message carries user context information.
Claims16
A method for transferring an edge computing application, comprising:
- receiving, by a first edge computing application of a first edge computing host in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) architecture, a first message sent by an edge computing platform of the first edge computing host, wherein the first message comprises edge computing application information of a second edge computing host in the MEC architecture;
- and
- sending, by the first edge computing application, a second message directly to a second edge computing application of the second edge computing host according to the edge computing application information of the second edge computing host, wherein the second message carries user context information.
A method for transferring an edge computing application, comprising:
- receiving, by an edge computing platform manager in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) architecture, a first message, wherein the first message carries application instance information;
- and
- performing, by the edge computing platform manager, an application instantiation operation on an edge computing host according to the application instance information,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- sending, by the edge computing platform manager, a second message to an edge computing orchestrator in the MEC architecture, wherein the second message comprises at least one of:
- minimum delay information for initiating a user context information synchronization operation, validity period information of a user context information synchronization operation, or edge computing application information of the edge computing host.
