  • Patent number: 12659282
    Abstract: Cloud networks can be dynamically deployed for edge computing environments. For example, a control plane of a computing environment can detect a set of device identifiers and a set of priority levels for data transmitted by a set of edge devices in the computing environment. Each device identifier can correspond to an edge device in the set of edge devices. A network deployment service of the control plane can determine a network weight for the set of edge devices based on a set of device identifiers and the set of priority levels. The network deployment service can determine an adjustment to a virtual gateway based on the network weight. The virtual gateway can transmit data from the set of edge devices to a compute node in the computing environment. The network deployment service can execute the adjustment to the virtual gateway.
