Abstract
An exemplary user equipment (“UE”) device provides a service request to an orchestration system associated with a federation of compute clusters available to fulfill the service request. The UE device also identifies a service optimization policy associated with a user preference for balancing performance priorities during fulfillment of the service request. In response to the service request, the UE device receives cluster selection data from the orchestration system. Based on the cluster selection data, the UE device characterizes compute clusters, within a subset of compute clusters represented in the cluster selection data, with respect to the performance priorities. Based on the service optimization policy and the characterization of compute clusters in the subset, the UE device selects a compute cluster from the subset to fulfill the service request. The UE device then provides an orchestration request indicative of the selected compute cluster to the orchestration system.
