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 2: Solution Architecture Archetypes in Context

We have found that most solutions and patterns in edge computing seem to fit three specific approaches, with slight variations and modifications. We thus refer to these approaches as pattern archetypes. The three chapters in this section will explore and delve into the three main archetypes. These chapters are meant to build successively on the patterns and concepts introduced in previous chapters, so Chapter 4 builds on the concepts of Chapter 3, and Chapter 5 on Chapter 4. This part will show how the architectural components should be used together, the circumstances and situations that should be embraced or avoided, and how and why they are commonly paired.

This part has the following chapters:
