[open-edge] [open-edge-attendees] Additional requirements in support of cloudlets.

[Patrice Hédé]

Hi Joe,

we need to have a good wording for this requirement (I will write the 
contributions to submit them before the submission deadline on Sunday 
night, but I will probably have no time to socialise ahead of time, we 
can always revise and cosign the revision between Monday and Thursday).

The intention is not to change the procedure from the UE side. The 
intention is to focus on the fact that the MEC application itself can be 
dynamically provisioned, i.e. the MEC management functionality can fetch 
the application from its external repository at the time the UE requests 
the instantiation (with a mechanism for base VM + overlay, it can be 
rapid enough) and provision the MEC server(s) in "real time". I'll try 
to rewrite the requirement based on the existing accepted wording, but I 
welcome any suggestion :)

We will need to work all together with Kiryong to make sure we have the 
API covering all major scenarios (I will try to initiate a few threads 
for technical discussion a bit later this month).

Regards,

Patrice
