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.

Open Source Software Can Benefit You

Modern enterprise applications are typically 76% based on open source software (https://www.synopsys.com/software-integrity/resources/analyst-reports/open-source-security-risk-analysis.html). This chapter discusses strategies to ensure that these dependencies don’t become your Achilles heel. Several recent well-publicized events have shown how companies that do not actively and continuously embrace open source principles can cause issues for those who depend on the software they maintain. In this chapter, we will discuss how mature open source software projects with open governance can attract more resources to your product development efforts and act as a force multiplier.

In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:

  • Open source and edge computing – the benefits and trade-offs
  • SBOMs are your friend – securing the software supply chain with a Software Bill of Materials
  • What makes you so special...
