Edge Computing Edge computing refers to a decentralized approach to computing where data processing and storage are brought closer to the source of data generation, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. The "edge" in edge computing refers to the network perimeter or the outer boundary of the network. In traditional cloud computing, data is sent to centralized data centers for processing, analysis, and storage. However, in scenarios where low latency, real-time processing, and reduced network bandwidth are crucial, edge computing comes into play. This is particularly relevant in applications involving the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, remote monitoring, and various other use cases. Low Latency: By processing data closer to the source, edge computing reduces the time it takes for data to travel to a distant cloud server and back. This is especially important for real-time applications where even a slight delay in proc
