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.

Integrating AWS Wavelength with other services

Referring back to the section in Chapter 3 about MEC, we covered how MNOs are building these capabilities out in their existing aggregation or regional central offices (COs). These are not gigantic data centers such as those a standard availability zone consists of.

This is why the service selection is limited to those that are most requested by customers for proven MEC use cases.

EC2 instances

AWS Wavelength Zones supports a limited number of Nitro-based Amazon EC2 instance types. The current list of instance types available in any given AWS Wavelength Zone can be queried with the following CLI command:

aws ec2 describe-instance-type-offerings \
--location-type "availability-zone" \
--filters Name=location,Values=eu-west-2-wl1-lon-wlz-1 \
--region eu-west-2 \
--query "InstanceTypeOfferings[*].[InstanceType]" \
--output text | sort
