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.

Testing the application from multiple sources

Assuming the Terraform IaC you applied in the previous sections deployed without any problems, you will now be able to connect to the test application from three different entry points. One entry point is in AWS Wavelength, one is in an AWS Local Zone, and one is in the parent AWS Region.

In this section, you will connect to all three entry points using a desktop/laptop on your home Wi-Fi or similar standard internet connection. Then, you will connect to the same three URLs from a mobile device that is on the appropriate carrier network for the AWS Wavelength Zone in question.

Checking the user experience from your desktop/laptop

From a desktop connected to the internet, ping all three nodes, and note the RTT in milliseconds:

ping 15.181.83.26 -c 2
ping 18.234.233.190 -c 2
ping 155.146.49.82 -c 2

Here’s an example of what you should see:
