Methods, computer program products, and/or systems are provided that perform the following operations: identifying, in an environment that includes a plurality of edge clusters of edge nodes, a first edge cluster having a resource gap; broadcasting a resource requirement of the first edge cluster to other edge clusters in the plurality; obtaining resource commitments from one or more of the other edge clusters; selecting edge cluster resources from the one or more of the other edge clusters based, at least in part, on the resource commitments; and creating a new cluster including the first edge cluster and the selected edge cluster resources.
