In path edge relay insertion

A system, comprising:

• a client device that uses an application;
• a cloud server which hosts the application;
• and
• an edge server that comprises:
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors that stores instructions operable when executed by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, by the edge server, a signal from the client device requesting an establishment of a new communication path between the client device and the cloud server through the edge server;
• forwarding, by the edge server, the signal to the cloud server;
• establishing, by the edge server, a first connection between the client device and the edge server;
• establishing, by the edge server, a second connection between the edge server and the cloud server;
• establishing, by a control plane of the edge server, the new communication path between the cloud server and the client device using the first connection and the second connection, wherein the control plane is associated with the application;
• migrating a communication to the new communication path;
• moving, while migrating the communication to the new communication path, the application from the cloud server to the edge server;
• and
• providing the application from the edge server to the client device through the first connection.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive, by an edge server, a signal from a client device requesting an establishment of a new communication path between the client device and a cloud server through the edge server;
• forward, by the edge server, the signal to the cloud server;
• establish, by the edge server, a first connection between the client device and the edge server;
• establish a second connection between the edge server and the cloud server;
• establish, by a control plane of the edge server, the new communication path between the cloud server and the client device using the first connection and the second connection, wherein the control plane is associated with an application;
• migrate communication to the new communication path;
• moving, while migrating the communication to the new communication path, the application from the cloud server to the edge server;
• and
• provide the application from the edge server to the client device through the first connection.
