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.

Sample Edge computing infrastructure

We’ve already established that general-purpose processing architectures, Linux, and containers are fundamental ingredients to Edge computing. Let’s put that into a little more context.

Recall the different tiers of Edge computing that we discussed in the The Edge computing ecosystem section in Chapter 1 – that is, far Edge – Edge devices, far Edge – Edge servers, network or metro Edge, and cloud Edge. In summary, the far Edge is the premises where your enterprise conducts its actual business. If you’re in retail, this could refer to your physical stores where customers make purchases, your warehouse or distribution center for storing and distributing products, or even the trucks you use for shipping those products. If you’re a manufacturer, the far Edge is the factory where you build products. If you’re a bank, it’s the branch offices and ATMs where customers do their banking.
