Cloud Service Models Questions
The role of edge computing in cloud computing is to bring computation and data storage closer to the source of data generation, reducing latency and improving response time. It allows for processing and analyzing data at the edge of the network, near the devices or sensors that generate the data, rather than sending all the data to a centralized cloud server for processing. This helps in real-time decision making, enables faster data processing, and reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to the cloud, thereby optimizing bandwidth usage.
