1. A device of a service coordinating entity, comprising:
communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network of a plurality of access networks;
processing circuitry; and
a memory device including instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to perform operations to:
detect a user equipment (UE) is roaming from a second access network of the plurality of access networks into the first access network, the UE accessing a computing service of the second access network;
generate a first plurality of trust attributes that are common to network entities within the first access network and the second access network based on at least one trust attribute exchange between the first and second access networks, in response to detecting the UE is roaming into the first access network;
instantiate, using a subset of the first plurality of trust attributes, a first application within a virtualization infrastructure of the first access network, the first application using the computing service, the subset being common to trust attributes associated with establishing a second application, the second application providing access to the computing service within the second access network; and
while the UE is roaming in the first access network, route data traffic between the UE and the computing service of the second access network via the first application, wherein the service coordinating entity is a Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) host executing the first application as a MEC application instantiated on a virtualization infrastructure of the MEC host.
