1. An electronic device in an edge computing environment, the electronic device comprising:
a memory storing an application;
wireless communication circuitry; and
at least one processor operatively connected with the memory and the wireless communication circuitry, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a query message querying whether application relocation is possible from an external server, via the wireless communication circuitry;
identify whether the application relocation is possible based on a running state of the application, in response to receiving the query message; and
when the application relocation is impossible, transmit a first response message indicating that the application relocation is impossible to the external server, via the wireless communication circuitry, or
when the application relocation is possible, transmit a second response message indicating that the application relocation is possible to the external server, via the wireless communication circuitry.
