Introduction to Azure Edge Computing and Its Application
Pre-requisite: Azure
Edge computing refers to the processing and analysis of data at the edge of the network, rather than in a centralized data center or cloud. This can be particularly useful for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and other distributed systems, where low latency and the ability to process data close to the source are critical.
