“To achieve a round-trip time (RTT) of less than 1 millisecond,
the maximum distance between a mobile device and a cloud
can be no greater than around 100km.”

Edge computing is the process of offloading compute
and storage from the centralized Cloud to the
network’s logical extremes.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration engine.
Kubernetes allows multiple servers to work together as a cluster.
Users provide the details of their applications, and Kubernetes
takes care of the rest!

Recap!
Edge Computing extends the physical footprint of the
Cloud to the edge of the network.
More devices and data, plus increasing demands for low
latency, are all driving Edge.
Edge use cases include machine learning, video,
transportation, energy, and lots more.
Cloud Native technologies like Kubernetes can be applied
to Edge Computing.
Edge Computing has the potential to shape the next
decade of the Internet.
