This document describes the use of Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI) implemented based on Edge Multi-Cluster Orchestrator (EMCO) for deployment of Public Cloud Edge (PCE) Apps from multiple clouds (Azure and AWS), deployment of a 3rd-Party Edge (3PE) App (an implementation of ETSI MEC Location API App), as well as the end-to-end operation of the deployed PCE Apps using simulated Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) IoT client.Image Removed

Click on "+ Add App" and add the "awsggc1" app. Make sure to use the "awsggc1" name to match the app tar file name without the extension:

// Oleg Berzin, is this figure same as the previous figure? - Tina Tsou

Define the AWS GGC app by adding the App tar filr and the Profile tar file:
