Abstract
A system for managing clouds of edge devices as an Infrastructure as a Service clouds includes an application server, a location based situational awareness subsystem and a cloud management subsystem. The cloud management subsystem includes a first API through which the application server makes request to the location based situational awareness subsystem and a conductor that searches for the optimal deployment of cloud resources that meet a set of constraints. A second API for managing and deploying applications on a selected set of the plurality of network connected devices. The system also includes a compute node that can interact with the selected set of the plurality of network connected devices to launch and manage containers on the selected set of the plurality of network connected devices.
