A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, an apparatus, and a computer-implemented method. The computer-readable storage medium is of an edge computing system and is to identify a target edge node for deployment of a workload thereon. The computer-readable storage medium further comprises computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining whether respective ones of candidate target edge nodes of a set of candidate target edge nodes of the edge computing system support workload determinism key performance indicators (KPIs) of the workload; in response to a determination that one or more candidate target edge nodes support the workload determinism KPIs, selecting a target edge node from the one or more candidate edge nodes; and causing the workload to be deployed at the target edge node.
