Abstract

Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases for multi-entity (e.g., multi-tenant) edge computing deployments are disclosed. Among other examples, various configurations and features enable the management of resources (e.g., controlling and orchestrating hardware, acceleration, network, processing resource usage), security (e.g., secure execution and communication, isolation, conflicts), and service management (e.g., orchestration, connectivity, workload coordination), in edge computing deployments, such as by a plurality of edge nodes of an edge computing environment configured for executing workloads from among multiple tenants.

Claims (55)

identify initiation of a group communication session established for the execution of the one or more collaborative workloads, wherein the one or more collaborative workloads are orchestrated to be executed for multiple tenants of the edge computing system, and wherein a same collaborative workload of the one or more collaborative workloads is orchestrated to be executed on behalf of different tenants of the multiple tenants;

determine a participating set of the edge computing devices of the edge computing system, located among multiple locations, to execute the one or more collaborative workloads and participate in the group communication session, wherein the same collaborative workload of the one or more collaborative workloads is orchestrated to be moved from at least a first computing device associated with a first tenant to a second computing device of the participating set of the edge computing devices associated with a second tenant;

generate a secure group communication channel for the group communication session, the secure group communication channel limited to the participating set of the edge computing devices determined to execute the one or more collaborative workloads; and

transmit a key to members of the participating set of the edge computing devices to be used in facilitating secure communications associated with the execution of the one or more collaborative workloads by the participating set of the edge computing devices on behalf of the multiple tenants, using the secure group communication channel.

2. The edge computing system of claim 1 , the processing circuitry further configured to:

determine a role associated with a task to be completed by the participating set of the edge computing devices using the secure group communication channel;

identify a base station set for the participating set of the edge computing devices, wherein the base station set includes base stations providing services to the participating set of the edge computing devices; and

activate the role on one or more members of the base station set.

3. The edge computing system of claim 2 , wherein the role is provided by a: orchestrator, group leader, or key manager.

4. The edge computing system of claim 1 , wherein generating the secure group communication channel comprises operations to perform a key exchange with each member of the participating set of the edge computing devices, wherein the key is transmitted to the members upon successful completion of the key exchange.

5. The edge computing system of claim 1 , the processing circuitry further configured to:

determine that the group communication session has ended;

revoke the key; and

destroy the secure group communication channel.

6. The edge computing system of claim 1 , wherein identifying initiation of the group communication session is based on an indication of initiation of a respective collaborative workload.

7. The edge computing system of claim 6 , wherein determining the participating set of the edge computing devices to participate in the group communication session is based on an indication of one or more edge nodes designated for collaborating in the same collaborative workload.

8. The edge computing system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more edge nodes are network peers in a layer of a distributed edge computing system.

9. The edge computing system of claim 1 , wherein the edge computing system is an edge gateway.

10. The edge computing system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more collaborative workloads execute on a platform served by the edge gateway.

11. The edge computing system of claim 1 , wherein the edge computing system includes a base station, and wherein the edge computing devices are endpoint client devices.

12. At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereupon, which when executed by processor circuitry of an edge computing system, cause the processor circuitry to perform operations comprising:

identifying initiation of a group communication session established for execution of one or more collaborative workloads, wherein the one or more collaborative workloads are orchestrated to be executed for multiple tenants of the edge computing system, wherein a same collaborative workload of the one or more collaborative workloads is orchestrated to be executed on behalf of different tenants of the multiple tenants;

determining a participating set of edge computing devices of the edge computing system, located among multiple locations, to execute the one or more collaborative workloads and participate in the group communication session, wherein the same collaborative workload of the one or more collaborative workloads is orchestrated to be moved from at least a first computing device associated with a first tenant to a second computing device of the participating set of the edge computing devices associated with a second tenant;
