Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm which brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, to improve performance and responsiveness. It involves moving computationally intensive or latency-sensitive tasks away from centralized nodes to nodes at or near the edge of the network.
The benefits of edge computing include improved performance, reduced latency, increased security, and reduced bandwidth costs.
AWS and Azure both offer services for edge computing.
AWS offers a range of services for edge computing, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon CloudFront, and AWS Lambda@Edge.
Azure offers a range of services for edge computing, including Azure IoT Edge, Azure Functions, and Azure Container Instances.
Some considerations for using edge computing include the following:
