Overview of this book

The surge in connected edge devices has driven organizations to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the massive amounts of data generated by these devices. However, adapting to this landscape demands significant changes in application architectures. This book serves as your guide to edge computing fundamentals, shedding light on the constraints and risks inherent in selecting solutions within this domain. You’ll explore an extensive suite of edge computing services from AWS, gaining insights into when and how to use AWS Outposts, AWS Wavelength, AWS Local Zones, AWS Snow Family, and AWS IoT Greengrass. With detailed use cases, technical requirements, and architectural patterns, you’ll master the practical implementation of these services and see how they work in real life through step-by-step examples, using the AWS CLI and AWS Management Console. To conclude, you’ll delve into essential security and operational considerations to maximize the value delivered by AWS services. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to design powerful edge computing architectures and handle complex edge computing use cases across multiple AWS services.

Utilizing Public 5G Networks for Multi-Access Edge (MEC) Architectures

As you’ll recall from Chapter 2, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) refers to architectures that exploit the opportunity presented by the convergence of two forces in 5G architecture. First is the prevalence of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) on commodity server hardware. Second is the fact that the User Plane Function (UPF) is distributed at the edge of 5G networks – as opposed to the centralized Packet Gateway (PGW).

MEC use cases we’ll review include online gaming, Computer Vision (CV), robotics, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and new techniques for video production at live events. For publicly accessible systems running on Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networks, we’ll focus on AWS Wavelength. For private MEC solutions, we will cover using AWS Outposts and AWS Private 5G in the US, and the Integrated Private Wireless program in other regions.

In this chapter, we’re...
