Real-World Edge Computing

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.

Practical challenges with Edge computing

In many ways, building out an Edge computing capability is very similar to creating software applications in the Cloud. However, there are a few important differences that we will enumerate here.

Designing and building Edge software

If you are familiar with modern, Cloud-native, software engineering practices, you will have a good start on designing and building for the Edge. However, several aspects of those practices need to be highlighted.

Unlike the Cloud, which has “virtually infinite” resources, Edge computing environments are inherently constrained. Componentization and containerization are critical to your software design to keep software components as compact and lightweight as possible. You must minimize redundant logic – leveraging reusable microservices wherever possible. This applies to your code as well as the underlying operating system itself – hence the importance of containerization.
