Abstract
A Generalized Edge Compute (GEC) architecture that enables customers to deploy their applications in a Virtual Machine (VM) environment is hosted on overlay network hardware and software, thereby leveraging the advantages provided by a widely-distributed overlay. A multi-path overlay network transport layer is implemented between and among the GEC regions, and secure tunneling (e.g., using WireGuard) is then implemented to run on top of the transport layer. The multi-path overlay network transport layer is configured as a mesh network that facilitates network flows with significant path diversity, thereby ensuring reliable and efficient network connectivity for workload migration across even distributed compute locations.
