    Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing, configuring, and operating multi-access edge computing (MEC) services and service consumption through zoning hosts in multi-vendor or multi-system environments. An apparatus operating as a MEC orchestrator to manage services consumption using zones is configurable to perform operations to: receive, from an application executing at a host, a request for a list of services and corresponding proximity zones; in response to receiving the request for the list of services, query a plurality of hosts for performance metrics of respective services offered from the plurality of hosts, the respective services to be used by the application executing at the host; construct a zone map, the zone map maintaining a mapping between the application and the plurality of hosts based on the performance metrics; and manage migration of the application or a service of the respective services, based on the zone map, to ensure QoS of the application.
