Edge Infrastructure Manager is typically deployed as a set of microservices in a Kubernetes cluster and it is part of the Edge Orchestrator services of Open Edge Platform along with Application and Cluster Orchestration. It leverages the same set of services provided by the Orchestration Platform Services, UI and Observability framework.

The Kubernetes cluster can be either deployed on a AWS cloud using Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or on a VM using the Rancher Kubernetes distribution RKE2. Following image shows the deployment of Edge Infrastructure Manager in the context of Open Edge Platform Edge Manageability framework.
