Abstract
A device may store first data structures that include first data identifying computing resources provided at an edge of a network for a computing environment. The device may store second data structures that include second data identifying aggregations of portions of the first data, and may store a third data structure that includes third data identifying an aggregation of the second data. The device may receive, from a first client device, client data identifying an address and resources associated with the first client device, and may update a first data structure based on the client data. The device may update a second data structure based on updating the first data structure, and may update the third data structure based on updating the second data structure. The device may provide a notification indicating that the first client device has been added as a computing resource for the computing environment.
