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.

Preface

Edge computing is a burgeoning field with vast potential to revolutionize industries, but its implementation still poses unique challenges. Authored by industry veterans Rob High and Sanjeev Gupta, this comprehensive guide bridges the gap between theory and practice, leveraging their combined many years of experience in Edge computing and hybrid cloud mesh solutions. Equipping software developers and DevOps teams with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of deploying Edge solutions at scale in production environments, this book explores the foundational standards and introduces key factors that may impede scaling Edge solutions.

While Edge computing draws from the successes of cloud computing, crucial distinctions separate the two. High and Gupta elucidate these distinctions, empowering you to grasp the nuanced dynamics of Edge computing ecosystems. With a focus on leveraging LF Edge 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. We will round out your understanding by highlighting the distinction between the LF Edge Open Horizon open source project and the IBM Edge Application Manager product distribution of Open Horizon.

By the end of this book, you’ll understand essential success factors for building and deploying robust Edge solutions in real-world production settings, leveraging Open Horizon for scalable Edge deployments.

You will learn how to do the following:

  • Identify common challenges in Edge projects
  • Utilize LF Edge Open Horizon to address project issues
  • Design and build Edge software using containerization platforms
  • Deploy Edge services using pattern-based and policy-based approaches
  • Leverage the Model Management Service for AI/ML workload deployment
  • Integrate Edge computing with enterprise network connectivity
  • Implement security best practices, including workload signing and secrets management
  • Enhance team productivity in Edge project management
