1. An edge processing system, comprising:
a first information handling system including:
a first processor;
a first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to perform first operations comprising:
orchestrating the edge processing system; and
creating a first key pair including a first private key and a first public key;
a second information handling system including:
a second processor; and
a second memory storing instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform second operations comprising:
receiving a fabric agent code, the first public key, a second key pair including a second private key and a second public key, and an address of the first information handling system; and
executing the fabric agent code to provide an access request to the address;
wherein the first operations further comprise:
authenticating the access request with the first private key, and
providing external compute fabric code to the second information handling system in response to the access request being authenticated;
wherein the second operations further comprise:
instantiating the external compute fabric code to manage end points of the edge processing system; and
wherein secure bidirectional communications based on the first and second key pairs are established between the first and second information handling systems.
