What does 'Edge' mean to you?

[MarjorieFreeman]

At this point, I think everyone knows what Edge means, but few know of actual edge use cases. 

How would you describe Edge technology in layman's terms? 

For instance, Chick Fil A deploys Kubernetes at the Edge to run its internet-independent applications. Many people have had Chick Fil A or at least been through a drive-thru or two in their day!  

What are some everyday use cases of it that people may not think about? 

[MarjorieFreeman]

I didn't think about video and music streaming! I know edge and the automotive industry have a very close relationship these days! People probably don't think about that. But 'smart homes' are definitely a use case most people can probably understand but are unaware of.

I do know IoT in healthcare is a major edge use case. Do you work closely with helping your MSO customers manage all their data?

Edge to me means deploying workloads as close as possible to where the data is generated to reduce latencies and take full advantage of next-generation networking features.

i do think that you should start by knowing the 6 main Edge models most customers , hyperscalers and even telco's evaluating to commercialize it

That's super cool. Have you ever written/published about the work you do in a personal blog or LinkedIn? I'd love to help you publish some of your work in Edge through the blog I manage, Enable Architect.

I have my blog https://digneshptl.blogspot.com/, but did not publish about Edge.

This is cool!! Would you mind if I shared with my partner at Enable Sysadmin (redhat.com/sysadmin) to republish some of your work?

[digneshptl]

No issue. You may share.
