Book Description
Enriched with insights from a hyperscaler’s perspective, Edge Computing Patterns for Solution Architects will prepare you for seamless collaboration with communication service providers (CSPs) and device manufacturers and help you in making the pivotal choice between cloud-out and edge-in approaches.
This book presents industry-specific use cases that shape tailored edge solutions, addressing non-functional requirements to unlock the potential of standard edge components. As you progress, you’ll navigate the archetypes of edge solution architecture from the basics to network edge and end-to-end configurations. You’ll also discover the weight of data and the power of automation for scale and immerse yourself in the edge mantra of low latency and high bandwidth, absorbing invaluable do’s and don’ts from real-world experiences. Recommended practices, honed through practical insights, have also been added to guide you in mastering the dynamic realm of edge computing.
By the end of this book, you’ll have built a comprehensive understanding of edge concepts and terminology and be ready to traverse the evolving edge computing landscape.
What You Will Learn:
- Distinguish edge concepts, recognizing that definitions vary among different audiences
- Explore industry-specific architecture patterns that shape custom solutions
- Analyze three proven edge computing archetypes for real-world scalability
- Apply best practices judiciously, adapting patterns to meet specific requirements
- Evaluate data for storage or discarding based on compliance and industry norms
- Advance from the foundational basics to complex end-to-end edge configurations
- Gain practical insights for achieving low-latency, high-bandwidth edge solutions
Who this book is for:
Ideal for VPs of IT infrastructure, enterprise architects, solution architects, and SRE professionals with a background in cloud computing, this book is for individuals involved in crafting edge reference architectures and tailored solutions across diverse industries.
