1. A method for event-driven provisioning of edge application servers in a 5G Media Streaming (5GMS) architecture, the method being executed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
setting, by a 5GMS application provider (AP), during provisioning or updating of a first edge application server (EAS), one or more event trigger conditions;
setting, by the 5GMS AP, during the provisioning or updating of a second EAS, one or more activating conditions for activating the second EAS;
issuing, by the first EAS, a trigger event indicating that at least one of the one or more event trigger conditions of the first EAS is satisfied;
determining, by a 5GMS Application Function (AF), that the issued trigger event satisfies the one or more activating conditions for activating the second EAS; and
activating, by the 5GMS AF, the second EAS in response to determining that the one or more activating conditions for activating the second EAS is satisfied,
wherein the one or more event trigger conditions are based on a maximum request rate from an application client (AC) supported by the first EAS.
