Edge Computing Patterns for Solution Architects

By: Ashok Iyengar, Joseph Pearson

Overview of this book

Enriched with insights from a hyperscaler’s perspective, Edge Computing Patterns for Solution Architects will prepare you for seamless collaboration with communication service providers (CSPs) and device manufacturers and help you in making the pivotal choice between cloud-out and edge-in approaches. This book presents industry-specific use cases that shape tailored edge solutions, addressing non-functional requirements to unlock the potential of standard edge components. As you progress, you’ll navigate the archetypes of edge solution architecture from the basics to network edge and end-to-end configurations. You’ll also discover the weight of data and the power of automation for scale and immerse yourself in the edge mantra of low latency and high bandwidth, absorbing invaluable do's and don'ts from real-world experiences. Recommended practices, honed through practical insights, have also been added to guide you in mastering the dynamic realm of edge computing. By the end of this book, you'll have built a comprehensive understanding of edge concepts and terminology and be ready to traverse the evolving edge computing landscape.

Part 1:Overview of Edge Computing as a Problem Space

To build a shared understanding, we lay the groundwork and survey the territory in the first two chapters. Since the concepts and terminology in edge computing can be overloading, it’s important to explain exactly what is meant when we elucidate our concepts, problems, and solutions. The first two chapters in the book aim to provide clarity and a common foundation that will be built on in Parts 2 and 3. This part begins with how to think and talk about edge computing grounded in context. It then delves into the various components, describes their purposes, and shows how they relate to others and where they best fit.

This part has the following chapters:
