Description: Edge deployment refers to the process of implementing applications and services on devices located at the edge of the network, that is, close to end users and the data being generated. This approach aims to reduce latency and improve efficiency by processing data locally, rather than sending it to a centralized data center. Edge devices can include everything from IoT (Internet of Things) sensors to gateways and local servers. By bringing computing closer to where data is generated, real-time responses are optimized, and bandwidth costs are minimized. Additionally, edge deployment allows for greater security, as sensitive data can be processed and stored locally, reducing the risk of exposure during transmission. This approach is particularly relevant in environments with limited internet connectivity or where immediate processing is required, such as in industrial, automotive, and healthcare applications. In summary, edge deployment represents an evolution in IT architecture, adapting to the needs of an increasingly connected world that demands fast and efficient responses.
