EdgeWorkloadComponent
A whole-device opaque resource described only by a 0..1 utilisation level (an "appliance-style" component). Used when individual CPU/RAM specs are not modeled or don’t apply, only how loaded the device is.
When to use this class
Use EdgeWorkloadComponent for appliance-style devices where the internal hardware is opaque. Use EdgeRAMComponent, EdgeCPUComponent, and EdgeStorage when compute and memory components need to be modeled separately.
