1. A computer program product for facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media and program instruction s embodied therewith, the program instructions being readable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to perform a method comprising:
performing an edge application deployment in a network, wherein the network includes a plurality of edge sites with edge computing infrastructure, and wherein the performing comprises:
deploying a pseudo application instance (pApp) of the edge application at each edge site of a first group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites; and
deploying a real application instance (rApp) of the edge application at each edge site of a second group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites, wherein the pApp is a lightweight, application-specific instance of the rApp with less application functionality than the rApp, wherein the first group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites is larger than the second group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites, and wherein a user device interaction with the edge application is through a selected pApp of the first group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites to an rApp of the second group of one or more edge sites of the plurality of edge sites.
