How Cloudlets work
Here's how Cloudlets handle incoming requests:

- The edge server fetches the policies for the given Cloudlet.
- The edge server processes metadata logic, generates a response, and sends it to the customer.
Here's a diagram that compares the workflow both with and without Cloudlets:
