1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors and comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to perform operations comprising:
communicating mobile edge computing (MEC) data associated with a first MEC host and a second MEC host to an application analytic engine;
receiving MEC policies from the application analytic engine;
determining to host a first application in the first MEC host based on the MEC policies;
communicating the MEC policies to the first MEC host;
determining that a user equipment (UE) is streaming content from the first application hosted in the first MEC host;
determining that the UE is moving to a third MEC host;
copying the content to a second application hosted in the third MEC host; and
redirecting the UE to stream the content from the second application hosted in the third MEC host.
