It seems like their initial edge Engine uses the same approach as CF: plain V8 runtime.

This announcement to me sounds like the approach didn't get the expected adoption and now they're allowing regular containers in the edge.

We prefer both :)

We've seen amazing adoption on the EdgeEngine product, it just serves a different purpose than full on Containers and/or VM's at the Edge.

The ability to run a container/VM at the Edge enables the ability to run more complex workloads outside of scripting in a CDN like delivery pipeline.
