How does edge computing reduce latency for end users? by limiting application access to one user at a time by placing the computing resources closer to the users by increasing the size of the company's central datacenter by migrating applications from one cloud provider to another
Answers
Answer:
In a sense, they are opposites.
Edge computing means to move computing and storage closer to sources and targets of data (usually in the context of IoT devices and consumers). The ultimate edge computing would be an intelligent IoT hub in the home; more realistically, it just means distributed datacenters located close to consumers. Sounds a little like CDN, too.
Cloud computing just means using someone else’s computer. Typically, this means renting access to a virtualized computer in a remote datacenter. Since the point is almost always aggregation/centralization of resources, this is quite different from Edge. And of course, it’s not fundamentally different from classic the classic client/server architecture, at one level or another.
