There is a huge need for an industry-wide level set on edge computing. No doubt, all of you are being bombarded with vendor messaging, white papers, and panel discussions on the “edge” and “edge computing” being the next big thing. In some ways, that’s true. In other ways, it’s nothing to get excited about. So, let’s start unpacking edge computing and go over the principle lenses required to build an understanding of what edge computing has become, and will become, as it continues to evolve.
