Abstract: Examples herein involve a multi-access edge computing (MEC) environment. An example process may include receiving a tenant application that is to be hosted in a MEC environment. The MEC environment may be situated between a user device and an external platform. The process may include assigning an edge service identifier (ESID) to the tenant application. The ESID may be used to indicate that a message, associated with the user device, involves the tenant application. The process may include assigning a host identifier to the tenant application. The host identifier may be used to indicate that report data, associated with execution of the tenant application within the MEC environment, is to be provided to the external platform. The process may include routing communications associated with the tenant application using the ESID and the host identifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for user interaction and task completion using multiple devices. A set of devices may be used to perform a task, such that different devices may perform different steps of the task. A device management service may update state information at each device of the set, thereby enabling a user to interact with any of the computing devices to perform the task. A device management service may also automatically determine which device should be used by the user, based on task or step requirements, device characteristics, and device capabilities, among other examples. Thus, rather than being required to continue a task on the same device (even when the device is not well-suited for the current step or task), the user is provided with the option to use and, in some instances, is automatically transitioned to use, different devices within the set.
