11. A system comprising:
a plurality of edge compute entities configured to process virtual service workloads, each edge compute entity including multiple compute nodes that run virtual service workloads to perform radio access network compute and control functions, each edge compute entity further configured to execute a virtualization monitoring agent function;
a management entity in network communication with the plurality of edge compute entities, the management entity including data storage resources comprising one or more persistent storages and configured to provide centralized, persistent data storage for the plurality of edge compute entities; and
compute resources configured to provide centralized management of the plurality of edge compute entities, wherein the compute resources includes at least one processor that is configured to execute a virtualization monitoring service function that is in communication with the virtualization monitoring agent function running on each of the plurality of edge compute entities to manage network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) lifecycle of resources of the plurality of edge compute entities.
