Abstract

The present technology relates to improving computing services in a distributed network of remote computing resources, such as edge nodes in an edge compute network. In an aspect, the technology relates to a system that includes a plurality of edge nodes and a beacon. The system performs operations that may include collecting traffic data from the beacon over a period of time, wherein the traffic data includes at least an amount of devices sending probe requests to the beacon; comparing the amount of devices to a predetermined threshold for traffic data; and based on the comparison of the amount of devices to the predetermined threshold for traffic data, generating a recommendation for installation of a new edge node in addition to the plurality of edge nodes.
