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'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.
