EdgeUsagePattern
The deployment schedule of a fleet of edge devices in a given Country, expressed as an hourly volume of EdgeUsageJourney deployments.
When to use this class
Use EdgeUsagePattern for hardware deployed continuously in the field. Use UsagePattern for end-user devices that run a request-style UsageJourney in a web context. See web_vs_edge.

Calculated attributes
utc_hourly_edge_usage_journey_starts
Hourly journey starts converted from the country's local timezone to UTC, so downstream calculations can be aggregated across patterns in different timezones.
Example value: 52597 values from 2025-01-01 00:00:00+00:00 to 2031-01-01 13:00:00+00:00 in :
first 10 vals [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1000, 1000, 1000],
last 10 vals [0, 0, 0, 0, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 0]
