Systems and methods for configuring and deploying multi-access edge computing applications

A device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• determine a plurality of requirements for a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) application requested by a customer;
• select a solution blueprint for the MEC application, from a set of solution blueprints, based on the determined plurality of requirements, wherein the solution blueprint includes an application deployment blueprint and a connectivity blueprint;
• receive approval of the selected solution blueprint from the customer;
• configure at least one transport network device based on the connectivity blueprint, in response to receiving the approval of the selected solution blueprint from the customer;
• and
• deploy at least one component of the MEC application on a MEC device in a MEC network based on the application deployment blueprint, in response to receiving the approval of the selected solution blueprint from the customer.

A system comprising:

• a first device configured to:
• determine a plurality of requirements for a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) application requested by a customer;
• select a solution blueprint for the MEC application, from a set of solution blueprints, based on the determined plurality of requirements, wherein the solution blueprint includes an application deployment blueprint and a connectivity blueprint;
• receive approval of the selected solution blueprint from the customer;
• a second device configured to:
• receive the selection solution blueprint from the first device;
• configure at least one transport network device based on the connectivity blueprint, in response to receiving the approval of the selected solution blueprint from the customer;
• and
• deploy at least one component of the MEC application on a MEC device in a MEC network based on the application deployment blueprint, in response to receiving the approval of the selected solution blueprint from the customer.
