Electronic device for performing edge computing service and operation method of electronic device

Abstract

An electronic device and an operation method of an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a memory for storing multiple applications including a first application, an edge enabler client (EPC), and multiple domain name system (DNS) caches allocated to each of at least some applications of the multiple applications and/or mapping data obtained by mapping identification information of the at least some applications to the multiple DNS caches; a communication circuit used for a communication connection of an edge service provision server and/or an edge network management server through a base station; and a processor configured to receive, from the first application, an access request for the edge service provision server that the first application desires to access; identify whether a DNS cache corresponding to the first application exits in the multiple DNS caches based on the mapping data and identification information of the first application, acquire an internet protocol (IP) address corresponding to a domain address included in the access request in case that the DNS cache corresponding to the first application exists, and access the edge service provision server based on the acquired IP address and perform the service.
