Edge computing and Kubernetes: Understanding the landscape

Edge computing differs from cloud computing in that information is processed nearer to the source of data. Yet the need for greater speed and efficiency in maximising resources as ever-increasing amounts of data get utilised are a common source of pain in both technologies.

It's not just the data, either. In edge use cases, which range from a security video camera to a remote oil rig, conditions may not always be optimal. As a result, the complexity needs to be managed....
