More devices means more data, more applications, and more pressure on the cloud to transport, process, and store massive amounts of data. Edge computing aims to mitigate this network bottleneck by offloading intensive compute and storage to many "microdatacenters" at the edge of the network.

In this talk, Megan and Steve explore the state of edge computing and its benefits to users in the areas of lower latency, data privacy, and safety. They outline exciting use cases for edge, including machine learning, virtual/mixed reality, video, transportation, and natural disaster detection. Then, they discuss what makes an application "edge-ready," from storage and network requirements to multitenancy and security. Finally, they demonstrate, using a prototype edge management platform built on top of Kubernetes, the process of deploying an edge application to multiple microdatacenters at once.

Note: This demo and our team’s prototypes in Edge Computing are not part of any official Cisco products.
