Method and apparatus for obtaining edge service

A method for obtaining an edge service, comprising:

• receiving, by a second edge configuration server, second request information from a first edge configuration server, wherein information about a first edge enabler server is requested using the second request information;
• determining, by the second edge configuration server, the information about the first edge enabler server based on the second request information;
• and
• sending, by the second edge configuration server, second response information to the first edge configuration server, wherein the second response information includes the information about the first edge enabler server.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory is configured to store programming instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
• in response to determining an edge enabler server, managed by a first edge configuration server, is unable to provide an edge service to a terminal device, obtain information about a second edge configuration server;
• and
• send first information to a first device, wherein
• the first information includes information about a first edge enabler server or the information about the second edge configuration server, and
• the first edge enabler server is managed by the second edge configuration server.

A system comprising:

• a first edge configuration server;
• and
• a second edge configuration server, wherein
• the first edge configuration server is configured to:
• in response to determining an edge enabler server, managed by the first edge configuration server, is unable to provide an edge service to a terminal device, obtain information about the second edge configuration server;
• and
• send first information to a first device, wherein
• the first information includes information about a first edge enabler server or the information about the second edge configuration server, and
• the first edge enabler server is managed by the second edge configuration server, and
• the second edge configuration server is configured to:
• receive second request information;
• determine the information about the first edge enabler server based on the second request information;
• and
• send second response information to the first edge configuration server.
