Abstract
Edge application deployment in a network is provided. The network includes a plurality of edge sites with edge computing infrastructure. Edge application deployment is performed, including deploying a pseudo application instance (pApp) of the edge application at each edge site of a first group of edge sites of the plurality of edge sites, and deploying a real application instance (rApp) of the edge application at each edge site of a second group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites. The pApp is a lightweight, application-specific instance of the rApp with less application functionality than the rApp. Further, the first group of edge sites is larger than the second group, and a user device interaction with the edge application is through a selected pApp of the first group of edge sites to an rApp of the second group.
