Abstract: A system and method for providing on-demand edge compute. The system may include an orchestrator that provides a UI and controls an abstraction layer for implementing a workflow for providing on-demand edge compute. The abstraction layer may include a network configuration orchestration (NCO) system (e.g., a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) system) and an API that may provide an interface between the orchestrator and the NCO. The API may enable the orchestrator to communicate with the NCO for receiving requests that enable the NCO to integrate with existing network controllers, orchestrators, and other systems and perform various network provisioning tasks (e.g., to build and provision a communication path between server instances). The various tasks, when executed, may provide end-to-end automated network provisioning services as part of providing on-demand edge compute service to users. The API may further enable the ECS orchestrator to receive information from the NCO, (e.g.
