Abstract
Edge device task management is provided. It is determined whether a subtask cancel and migrate plan exists when a request to run a higher priority subtask of a second plurality of subtasks corresponding to a second task is received while a first task comprised of a first plurality of subtasks is running on a first cluster of edge devices. In response to determining that the subtask cancel and migrate plan does exist, a lower priority subtask of the first plurality of subtasks is canceled from a designated edge device of the first cluster of edge devices based on the subtask cancel and migrate plan. The lower priority subtask is migrated to another edge device for running based on the subtask cancel and migrate plan. The higher priority subtask of the second plurality of subtasks is sent to the designated edge device of the first cluster of edge devices for running.
