Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system receives data at an edge node of a network that also includes regional nodes and central nodes. The processing system also determines a latency criterion associated with an application for processing the data; the application corresponds to an application programming interface. The method also includes processing the data in accordance with the application, monitoring a latency associated with the processing, and determining whether the latency meets the latency criterion. The processing system dynamically assigns data processing resources so that the latency meets the latency criterion; the resources include computation, network and storage resources of the edge node, a central node, and a regional node in communication with the edge node and the central node. Other embodiments are disclosed.
