Edge Computing with Amazon Web Services

Build scalable, cost-effective, high-performance, and secure architectures using AWS Outposts, AWS Local Zones, AWS Wavelength, and AWS Snow services along guided by best practices and practical examplesKey FeaturesTake advantage of the opportunities and challenges arising from the exponential growth of connected devicesUse AWS edge compute services to extend your applications to wherever they are neededFollow guided tutorials for building an IIoT gateway and a distributed edge application with AWS servicesPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionThe surge in connected edge devices has driven organizations to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the massive amounts of data generated by these devices. However, adapting to this landscape demands significant changes in application architectures. This book serves as your guide to edge computing fundamentals, shedding light on the constraints and risks inherent in selecting solutions within this domain. You ll explore an extensive suite of edge computing services from AWS, gaining insights into when and how to use AWS Outposts, AWS Wavelength, AWS Local Zones, AWS Snow Family, and AWS IoT Greengrass. With detailed use cases, technical requirements, and architectural patterns, you ll master the practical implementation of these services and see how they work in real life through step-by-step examples, using the AWS CLI and AWS Management Console. To conclude, you ll delve into essential security and operational considerations to maximize the value delivered by AWS services. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to design powerful edge computing architectures and handle complex edge computing use cases across multiple AWS services.What you will learnOvercome network challenges faced at the near and far edgeLeverage services in over 450 points of presence at the edge of the AWS global backboneDeploy edge solutions in disconnected scenarios using AWS Snow FamilyBuild multi-access edge (MEC) solutions with 5G and AWS WavelengthReduce latency for your users with AWS Local ZonesConfigure AWS Snowcone as an IIoT gateway with AWS IoT GreengrassExtend your AWS VPC into your on-premise data center with AWS OutpostsDeploy distributed applications for core, near, and far edge cloud servicesWho this book is forThis book is designed for cloud architects, cloud engineers, solutions architects, and IoT architects tasked with building edge compute solutions using AWS.
