8. A system, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
receive registration information regarding a user equipment (UE),
wherein the registration information identifies a measure of latency associated with services that the UE is authorized to access;
determine an identifier for the UE from a plurality of identifiers,
wherein the identifier is determined based on the measure of latency identified by the registration information, and
wherein the plurality of identifiers includes a first identifier associated with accessing first services using a cloud domain name system (DNS) and a second identifier associated with accessing second services using an edge DNS;
receive a notification indicating that the UE is requesting access to a service;
identify a device for providing access to the service;
obtain the identifier of the UE based on UE identification information of the UE, wherein the UE identification information is associated with the notification; and
provide, to the UE, DNS information to cause the UE to obtain a network address of the device using the cloud DNS or the edge DNS,
wherein the DNS information is based on the obtained identifier.
