This document is the accompanying report documenting the software components that are released as part of ACCORDION Deliverable D3.2 and explains how to install and use them. The report includes the description of the first implementation provided by ACCORDION for the Edge infrastructure pool framework (or Edge minicloud), developed by the tasks inside WP3. The implemented minicloud model can include only resources located in a single site and typically owned by a single provider. The developed framework, representing one of the key innovations realized by ACCORDION, puts together the different components that altogether implement the functionalities requested to deploy and operate federated miniclouds inside the ACCORDION environment. It allows to locate and assign edge resources to the client applications of ACCORDION, ensuring they are duly registered, tracked, monitored and that the system is able to react whenever needed to ensure the quality of service to users of client applications. The framework implements the architectural guidelines and requirements set by WP2, will be further integrated with the higher (orchestration) layer components developed by WP4 and, once integrated, will run the Pilot use case applications proposed by WP6.
