Edge Stream Pool

An edge stream pool is a collection of user edge nodes. You need to set the video service and maximum number of video streams that are expected to run in the edge stream pool. After you create a video service job, VAS schedules and selects a proper node to run the video algorithm container to process the video job.

Creating an Edge Stream Pool
