Making the Edge Work through AI
So far, we have explored hardware and software frameworks for Edge computing. However, we have not provided details about exactly what Edge systems do. We should ask ourselves, “How does an Edge device communicate with the cloud (or should it)?” We should think about what actions an Edge computer performs. The logic and applications running on Edge systems can be simple utilities and drivers for hardware and sensors that simply relay data back to the cloud, and at the other extreme, we even have Edge systems that make decisions themselves using machine learning. This chapter details how Edge systems interact with cloud systems. We will examine what happens in the cloud when Edge components are added to the mix. ...
