Technology is described for sending messages between device groups. A message may be generated at a first device group. The first device group may include a plurality of edge devices that is executing a first process. The message may be sent from the first edge device in the first device group to a source controller edge device in the first device group. A logical group address associated with the message may be added. The logical group address may identify a second device group that is to receive the message. The second device group may include a plurality of edge devices that is executing a second process. The message may be sent from the source controller edge device in the first device group to a destination controller edge device in the second device group over an overlay grouping network between the first device group and the second device group.
