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.

Understanding Network and Security for Near-Edge Computing

There are two types of edge computing where the cloud is concerned – near the cloud and far from the cloud. Near-edge networking assumes reliable high-speed access and is probably what you are familiar with. Servers connecting from a data center over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a laptop in a home worker’s apartment with a cable modem, or a mobile device connecting via 5G or Wi-Fi are all examples of near-edge networking.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding internet challenges
  • Using a private wide-area network
  • Optimizing ingress with global server load balancing
  • Steering traffic at the network layer with IP Anycast
  • Addressing TCP issues with HTTP/3 and QUIC
  • Securing networks at the near edge
