1. An edge computing entity for managing an edge computing system, the edge computing entity comprising one or more processors coupled to a memory, which, alone or in combination, are configured to execute a method comprising:
obtaining topology information of the edge computing system; and
exposing the topology information to a network exposure function or a policy control function of a third generation partnership project (3GPP) system,
wherein the topology information comprises a weight of each of a plurality of edge data centers in the edge computing system, and
wherein the edge computing system belongs to a non-3GPP system.
