In this position paper, we examine the opportunities and challenges of enabling rich content service on the edge resources (CDN and smart proxies). We discuss what edge resources are engaged and the research problems involved in planning and mapping instantiated service graph on the resources. Finally, we describe the Fadel experimental system, our research vehicle to tackle the research challenges as outlined in this paper.
