+**Edge cloud platform (lite2edge):** Federation Manager uses this to talk to the edge cloud (lite2edge). Lite2edge is **not** deployed by this chart; deploy it separately (e.g. in namespace `lite2edge`) if you need to test federation. Override `edgeCloudPlatform` if your lite2edge runs at a different host/port or requires a specific `flavour_id`.
