12. A method for determining a provisioning device by an electronic device in an edge computing network, the method comprising:
transmitting device information of the electronic device to a cloud server or at least one external device located on a same local network as the electronic device;
identifying at least one device determined as a provisioning device of an edge computing service from among the electronic device and the at least one external device located on the same local network;
based on the electronic device being determined as the provisioning device,
receiving, by the electronic device, authentication information of at least one device, for which the electronic device performs a provisioning operation, from the cloud server; and
performing, by the electronic device, provisioning related to the edge computing service for one or more of the at least one external device on the same local network, based on the authentication information.
