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.

Business drivers for growth in edge computing

There are two main categories of emerging business needs that are predicted to drive explosive growth in new edge computing applications, as well as rapid and unpredictable scaling of those applications once they are in place. The first category is those drivers that fall under the Industry 4.0 zeitgeist, and the second consists of those necessitated by data sovereignty and privacy concerns.

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is a term that was popularized by the World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klas Schwab in his 2017 book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. It predicts a number of fundamental shifts in how production and supply networks function around the world. These are expected to be driven by imminent breakthroughs in emerging technologies that fuse digital, physical, and human components.

The shift to Industry 4.0 is not a mere technological upgrade but a strategic move to address a range of business challenges...
