Real-World Edge Computing

By: Robert High, Sanjeev Gupta

Overview of this book

Edge computing holds vast potential to revolutionize industries, yet its implementation poses unique challenges. Written by industry veterans Rob High and Sanjeev Gupta, this comprehensive guide bridges the gap between theory and practice. Distilling expertise from their combined decades of experience in edge computing and hybrid cloud mesh solutions, this book equips software developers and DevOps teams with the knowledge and skills needed to deploy edge solutions at scale in production environments. It also explores foundational standards and introduces key factors that may impede the scaling of edge solutions. While edge computing draws from the successes of cloud computing, crucial distinctions separate the two. High and Gupta elucidate these distinctions, helping you grasp the nuanced dynamics of edge-computing ecosystems. With a focus on leveraging Open Horizon to overcome pitfalls and optimize performance, this book will help you confidently navigate the intricacies of constructing and deploying resilient edge solutions in real-world production settings. By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired a deep understanding of essential success factors for building and deploying robust edge solutions in real-world production settings, leveraging Open Horizon for scalable edge deployments.

Edge and mobile computing

Throughout this book we have discussed various Edge devices such as POS terminals, intelligent cameras, robots, and cars. We’ve never really used smartphones as an example of an Edge device. This oversight is somewhat deliberate, for two reasons:

  1. Both Apple and Android smartphones are designed to assume they are possessed by a single person and managed by that person. That person decides what Apps to include on their phone. Both the Apple and Android smart phone ecosystem is geared to the idea that you go to an online store – either the AppStore or PlayStore, for example – and choose your Apps. You then set those Apps up the way you want to use them. Updates to the Apps or OS are your responsibility to keep up with. Even with automated updates turned on, or if you are working with a corporate-managed program that uses a Mobile Device Manager for automating the security and provisioning of the phone, some amount of user intervention...
