Abstract
A system meters execution of an application module at an edge computing device. A secure workload package is transmitted securely from a workload provisioning service to the edge computing device. The secure workload package includes the application module, a trusted metering application, and a provisioning service authentication token. The provisioning service authentication token is verified in the secure workload package based on an edge device authentication token generated at the edge computing device. The trusted metering application is executed in a trusted execution environment of the edge computing device, responsive to verifying the provisioning service authentication token. The application module of the edge computing device is executed, wherein the trusted metering application is configured to monitor execution metrics of the application module on the edge computing device. The execution of the application module is managed based on the monitored execution metrics.
