Abstract
Methods and systems for managing an edge compute environment comprising endpoint devices and an orchestrator are provided. An internal peer-to-peer file sharing infrastructure exclusive to the edge compute environment is established using the endpoint devices and the orchestrator. The internal peer-to-peer file sharing infrastructure exclusive to the edge compute environment is used by the endpoint devices to download configuration data from one another using a sandboxed virtual network segment that connects the endpoint devices to one another. The sandboxed virtual network segment may be a Virtual extensible Local-Area Network (VXLAN), and may be used by the endpoint devices to implement a reverse torrent protocol for downloading the configuration data.
