Patent attributes
Devices and techniques are generally described for an edge computing system. In various examples, the edge computing system may comprise a host kernel comprising a kernel-based virtual machine hypervisor. In some examples, the edge computing system may comprise virtualization software effective to communicate with the kernel-based virtual machine hypervisor to execute guest virtual machines. In various further examples, the edge computing system may comprise an engine virtual machine with access to at least one hardware component. The edge computing system may further comprise a control plane virtual machine. The control plane virtual machine may include components effective to receive a first request and determine an application corresponding to the first request, and a virtual machine manager effective to control the virtualization software to generate a virtual machine, configured in accordance with a configuration specific for the virtual machine, for executing the application.
