Original Abstract Submitted
Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying an edge device as a cluster of pods. The method receives a set of criteria for deploying the edge device. The method uses the set of criteria to deploy the edge device as a set of one or more pods executing on a set of one or more nodes. The method implements, on the set of pods, a set of one or more services to perform on data message flows. At least two pods deployed for the edge cluster perform different service operations of different service types such that the different service types are able to be scaled independently.
