10. Edge Computing
Edge computing is a method of
optimising cloud computing
systems by performing data
processing and real time decisions
at the edge of the network, near
the source of the data.
Real-time Data Driven
1000’s new and different kind of
“Data Centers”
● Cloudlets
● Edge Data Centers
● uCPE
● Cloud in a box
11. The bigger problem: Data Tsunami ahead
Billions of connected devices
that are generating vast
amount of data at the edges of
the network.
● IOT
● Mobility
● AI / AR
● M2M
● Smart “Things” (Buildings, airplanes,
ships, places etc.)
18. Scaling Challenges
• Auto Scaling of Kubeless FaaS
- Using multiple PODs as load increases
• Auto Scaling of Microservices
- Generating more replicas as load increases
• Auto Scaling of Kubernetes Cluster
- Adding more Kubernetes Nodes
19. TOSCA - Edge Automation at Scale
The Boeing 787 could not be produced
without standard modeling

Apps VNFs
• Autonomous
• Self Healing
• Support disconnected (headless) operation
• Modular
• API Enabled
• SDN Enabled
• Based on Distributed Architecture (Orchestration
Hierarchy / Symmetric)
