10. The system of claim 9 , wherein to forward the one or more workload instructions to the cluster of computing devices, the processing device is to:

translate, by the cluster manager proxy, a destination address of the one or more workload instructions from the cluster manager proxy to the cluster of computing devices and a source address of the one or more workload instructions from the cluster manager to the cluster manager proxy.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cluster of computing devices does not have access to the second credentials.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein to initiate the connection to the cluster of computing devices, the processing device is to:

bootstrap the cluster of computing devices to communicate with the cluster manager proxy.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processing device is to:

in response to receiving the first request to register the cluster of computing devices with the cluster manager, authenticate that the cluster of computing devices has been bootstrapped by the device manager.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cluster of computing devices is an edge computing cluster.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

initiate, by a device manager associated with a cluster manager proxy, a connection with a cluster of computing devices, wherein initiating the connection comprises providing first credentials to the cluster of computing devices to access the cluster manager proxy;

receive, by the processing device executing the cluster manager proxy, a first request to register the cluster of computing devices with a cluster manager, the first request comprising the first credentials to access the cluster manager proxy and information associated with the cluster, the information comprising registration information of the cluster to allow for workload management by the cluster manager upon registration of the cluster;
