In an edge computing system deployment, a system includes memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a workflow execution plan that includes workload metadata defining a plurality of workloads associated with a plurality of edge service instances executing respectively on one or more edge computing devices. The workload metadata is translated to obtain workload configuration information for the plurality of workloads. The workload configuration information identifies a plurality of memory access configurations and service authorizations identifying at least one edge service instance authorized to access one or more of the memory access configurations. The memory is partitioned into a plurality of shared memory regions using the memory access configurations. A memory access request for accessing one of the shared memory regions is processed based on the service authorizations.
