Intelligent Workloads at the Edge

By: Indraneel Mitra, Ryan Burke

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed how people think about and interact with the world. The ubiquitous deployment of sensors around us makes it possible to study the world at any level of accuracy and enable data-driven decision-making anywhere. Data analytics and machine learning (ML) powered by elastic cloud computing have accelerated our ability to understand and analyze the huge amount of data generated by IoT. Now, edge computing has brought information technologies closer to the data source to lower latency and reduce costs. This book will teach you how to combine the technologies of edge computing, data analytics, and ML to deliver next-generation cyber-physical outcomes. You’ll begin by discovering how to create software applications that run on edge devices with AWS IoT Greengrass. As you advance, you’ll learn how to process and stream IoT data from the edge to the cloud and use it to train ML models using Amazon SageMaker. The book also shows you how to train these models and run them at the edge for optimized performance, cost savings, and data compliance. By the end of this IoT book, you’ll be able to scope your own IoT workloads, bring the power of ML to the edge, and operate those workloads in a production setting.

Defining DevOps for IoT workloads

DevOps has transformed the way companies do business in today's world. Companies such as Amazon, Netflix, Google, and Facebook conduct hundreds or more deployments every week to push different features, enhancements, or bug fixes. The deployments themselves are typically transparent to the end customers in that they don't experience any downtime from these constant deployments.

DevOps is a methodology that brings developers and operations closer to infer quantifiable technical and business benefits with faster time to market through shorter development cycles and increased release frequency. A common misunderstanding is that DevOps is only a set of new technologies to build and deliver software faster. DevOps also represents a cultural shift to promote ownership, collaboration, and cohesiveness across different teams to foster innovation across the organization. DevOps has been adopted by organizations and companies of all sizes for distributed...
