1. A method for event-driven provisioning of edge application servers in a 5G Media Streaming (5GMS) architecture, the method being executed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
setting, by a 5GMS application provider (AP), during provisioning or updating of a first edge application server (EAS), one or more event trigger conditions;
determining, by a 5GMS Application Function (AF) at the first EAS, based on an indicator event associated with the first EAS, that at least one of the one or more event trigger conditions of the first EAS is satisfied, wherein the determining by the 5GMS AF comprises:
issuing, by the first EAS, a trigger event indicating that at least one of the one or more event trigger conditions of the first EAS is satisfied, and
listening, by the 5GMS AF, to the trigger event of the first EAS;
generating, by the 5GMS AP, a trigger event in response to determining that the at least one of the event trigger conditions of the first EAS is satisfied;
setting, by the 5GMS AP, during the provisioning or updating of a second EAS, one or more activating conditions for activating the second EAS;
determining, by the 5GMS AP, that the generated trigger event is associated with at least one of the one or more activating conditions for activating the second EAS; and
transmitting a message associated with the generated trigger event to EASs in the 5GMS architecture, the message causing activation of the second EAS.
