Edge computing: Networking

- [Instructor] So let's drill a bit deeper into Edge Computing Networking. So keep in mind, we have the network which is the communication mechanism of edge computing. And that network is able to talk to different devices, in this case device one, device two, device three, and allow those devices to communicate with the backend central cloud servers where the information is exchanged. Now, keep in mind that we have sensors in this chain as well. They sit near the edge devices, but the communication mechanism could be very different. It could be a direct hardwired communication or something through a wireless network such as Bluetooth. And we have an edge computing networking chain and that includes central servers. Typically it's going to be on a public cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. Next we have the sensor level and those are the devices that gather information.…
