1. A method for deploying an edge data network (EDN), the method comprising:
receiving, by an edge computing management service provider (ECMSP) from an edge computing management service consumer (ECMSC), an edge data network (EDN) deployment request for creating an EDN instance associated with an EDNFunction class, wherein the EDN deployment request comprises one or more requirements associated with the EDN,
identifying an EDNfunction information object class (IOC) based on the one or more requirements included in the EDN deployment request; and
deploying the EDN based on the identified EDNfunction IOC and the one or more requirements,
wherein the deploying comprises:
invoking a virtual network function (VNF) lifecycle management with requirements for VNF instance corresponding to each edge enable server (EES) included in the EDN and each edge configuration server (ECS);
creating a managed object instance (MOI) for the identified EDNfunction IOC based on a plurality of attributes associated with the identified EDNfunction IOC; and
transmitting, to the ECMSC, a response including an identifier associated with the created MOI and an identifier associated with the ECMSP that maintains the created MOI for the EDN instance.
