Technologies for analyzing and optimizing workloads (e.g., virtual network functions) executing on edge resources are disclosed. According to one embodiment disclosed herein, a compute device launches a virtualized system including a virtual network function and a performance manager, the performance manager to monitor a current resource usage of the virtual network function as a function of a performance profile. The compute device determines, in response to a determination that one or more quality-of-service (QoS) requirements is not satisfied, whether one or more resources from the platform are available for satisfying the QoS requirements. The compute device receives, in response to a determination that the one or more resources are available for satisfying the QoS requirements, the one or more resources and updates the performance profile as a function of the received resources.
