Techniques are disclosed for management of edge devices. For example, a method comprises coordinating operation of a plurality of edge devices in a system to process a plurality of workloads. The coordinating of the operation of the plurality of edge devices in the system comprises coordinating one or more times for changing a state of at least a subset of the plurality of edge devices from a first state corresponding to a first level of activity to a second state corresponding to a second level of activity. By way of further example, the coordinating of the operation of the plurality of edge devices in the system may further comprise coordinating one or more times for the processing of the plurality of workloads by at least the subset of the plurality of edge devices in the system.
