1. A computer-implemented method for selective privileged container augmentation, the computer-implemented method comprising:
selecting, by a computer, a target group of edge devices from a plurality of available edge devices to run a plurality of child tasks comprising a pending task by mapping edge device tag attributes of the plurality of available edge devices to child task tag attributes of the plurality of child tasks;
installing, by the computer, a privileged container corresponding to the pending task in each respective edge device of the target group of edge devices to monitor execution of a child task by an application container in a given edge device of the target group of edge devices;
adding, by the computer, a privileged container installation tag that corresponds to the privileged container to an edge device tag attribute of each respective edge device of the target group of edge devices having the privileged container installed; and
sending, by the computer, a given child task of the plurality of child tasks comprising the pending task to a selected edge device in the target group of edge devices to run the given child task.
