Method and apparatus managing edge enabler server (EES) in communication system

A method of a second edge enabler server (EES) in an edge network comprising at least one first EES and the second EES, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to the at least one first EES, a context push request message for context transfer procedures;
• and
• in case that the second EES is authorized, and the at least one first EES and the second EES are part of same EES set of the edge network,
• receiving, from the at least one first EES, a context push response message,
• wherein first information included in the context push request message is stored in the at least one first EES, and
• wherein the first information comprises at least one of a list of edge enabler client (EEC) contexts, or a list of edge application server (EAS) profiles.

A first edge enabler server (EES) in an edge network comprising the first EES and a second EES, wherein the first EES comprises:

• a memory;
• a communicator;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and the communicator, and configured to:
• receive, from the second EES, a context push request message for context transfer procedures,
• validate and authorize the second EES in response to the push request message, and
• in case that the second EES is authorized and the first EES and the second EES are part of same EES set of the edge network, store first information included in the context push request message for synchronization with the second EES and transmit, to the second EES, a context push response message,
• wherein the first information comprises at least one of a list of Edge Enabler Client (EEC) contexts, or a list of edge application server (EAS) profiles.
