Methods and apparatus to autonomously implement policies at the edge

A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause at least one programmable circuit of a first compute device to at least:

• interpret a policy based on a first attribute and a second attribute to identify a first role associated with the first compute device, the first attribute to describe the first compute device, the second attribute obtained from a second compute device, the second attribute to describe the second compute device;
• establish a consensus with the second compute device to obtain additional information from the second compute device;
• reinterpret the policy based on additional information to identify a second role associated with the first compute device;
• and
• provide at least one of the second role or an identified action associated with the second role in the policy to an application on the first compute device to cause the application to perform the identified action based on the policy.

A system comprising:

• a self-organizing cluster including a first compute device and a second compute device, the first compute device to:
• interpret a policy based on a first attribute and a second attribute to identify a first role associated with the first compute device, the first attribute to describe the first compute device, the second attribute obtained from a second compute device, the second attribute to describe the second compute device;
• establish a consensus with the second compute device to obtain additional information from the second compute device;
• reinterpret the policy based on the additional information to identify a second role associated with the first compute device;
• and
• provide at least one of the second role or an identified action associated with the second role in the policy to an application on the first compute device to cause the application to perform the identified action based on the policy.
