Abstract
A computer-implemented method, computer system and computer program product dynamically manage failure in an edge computing environment. According to the method, a request for executing a task may be sent to a first edge device according to a defined process, where the defined process is used to schedule tasks to be executed on edge devices. In response to the first edge device failing to execute the task, the defined process may be suspended. Then, a request for executing the task may be sent to a second edge device. A task result that is received first may be taken as the task result for the task, where the task result is from either the first edge device or the second edge device. And, continuing the rest of the defined process.
