Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable storage device provide an edge resource marketplace that enables third parties to selectively deploy microservices on an edge network on-demand. For example, an edge computing resource provider can utilize the edge resource marketplace to expose available edge computing resources to third party services providers, and third party services providers can utilize the edge resource marketplace for discovering and determining one or more optimal available edge computing resources for on-demand deployment of a set of microservices as a virtual network function proximate to end users for reduced latency and improved application performance.
