1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
responsive to receiving a request to process data utilizing a plurality of edge devices, identifying a cluster of edge devices to process the data located within a boundary, wherein the boundary defines a boundary area;
applying one or more compliance rules to the cluster of edge devices, wherein the one or more compliance rules are associated with the boundary area;
instructing the cluster of edge devices to perform computations while adhering to the one or more compliance rules associated with the boundary area; and
responsive to determining that a first edge device from the cluster of edge devices is relocating outside of the boundary area, instructing the first edge device to transfer data to a second edge device from the cluster of edge devices prior to crossing the boundary to adhere to the one or more compliance rules.
