Abstract: A first telecommunications edge cloud (TEC) element deployed between a client and a packet network includes a TEC hardware layer including storage resources, networking resources, and computing resources, wherein the computing resources include a plurality of processors. The networking resources are configured to transmit a first general update message to a plurality of second TEC elements within a federation, transmit a first application-specific update message to the second TEC elements within the federation, and receive a plurality of second update messages from the second TEC elements that are associated with the federation. The federation includes the second TEC elements and the first TEC element and shares resources to provide data and services to a requesting client. The storage resources are coupled to the computing resources and the networking resources and configured to store a second generic resource container and second application-specific resource container for each of the second TEC elements.
