Abstract
This work presents an architecture for automated service migration in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC)-Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environments in a user mobility scenario. A Proof of Concept (PoC) was implemented, illustrating how the system monitors latency metrics and Service-level Agreement (SLA) conditions to perform seamless application migration, enhancing operational efficiency and performance. The demonstration showcases how the Management Portal streamlines the uploading, instantiation, and lifecycle management of MEC Applications.
