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.

Introduction to the AWS Snow Family

The original AWS Snowball service was introduced in 2015. It started out as a mechanism to move large amounts of data when doing so over the network wasn’t reasonable. In the ensuing years, customer demand for new capabilities has driven the expansion of this line into different variants with use-case-specific capabilities:

All offer an interface and operating model that is consistent with Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3, and they are all designed to run autonomously. All AWS Snow Family devices operate their own local control, management, and data planes. Thus, they do not require a consistent network connection back to the AWS cloud to operate.

AWS Snow Family devices can all host local object storage buckets that utilize the same API/CLI interface as Amazon S3 buckets. When a customer orders one, it is sent to them, they copy their data to these local buckets, and then...
