Claim 14:
15. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a data plane node of a cloud service provider of a federated service, uplink data traffic from a UE attached to a wireless network that supports Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC);
forwarding the uplink data traffic from the data plane node to an individual service hosted by the cloud service provider associated with the uplink data traffic;
receiving, at a cloud edge orchestrator of the cloud service provider, MEC details that identify MEC resources in the wireless network are available to the UE to handle the individual service locally to the wireless network;
establishing an offload orchestration session between the cloud edge orchestrator and the MEC resources to transfer performance of the individual service from the cloud service provider to the wireless network; and
forwarding, from individual service and the data plane node to the UE, downlink data traffic responsive to the uplink data traffic from the individual service hosted by the cloud service provider until the offload orchestration session is complete.
