NFV

A

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is at its heart the quintessential edge computing application because it provides infrastructure functionality. Telecom operators are looking to transform their service delivery models by running virtual network functions as part of, or layered on top of, an edge computing infrastructure. To maximize efficiency and minimize cost/complexity, running NFV on edge computing infrastructure makes sense.

36
Q

What is Edge Compute?

A

Edge compute is about running software at the edge of the network, rather than on centralized infrastructure in a data center or the cloud. Today, this means serverless computing, though there have been other forms of edge compute over the years. The term also refers to the complete collection of infrastructure, tools, and processes that support the capability. This includes having a runtime environment at the edge, a developer stack that aligns with edge compute, a code deployment mechanism for the edge, and so forth.

37
Q

When Does Edge Compute Make Sense?

A

Edge compute is a compelling computing option for many use cases. However, it’s not a replacement for data centers or the cloud. Rather, the edge is an additional place to run code. Edge compute makes the most sense when end users can benefit from it. Reasons vary, but most of the time, developers prefer to put computing at the edge when a digital experience requires the lowest possible level of latency, and performing application logic closer to the user will realize this goal. Additionally, an edge compute workload might be an app that utilizes data and insights based on user context and location, such as for personalization. This works better at the edge than it would on centralized infrastructure because the edge server has all of the user context to make decisions. Edge compute makes further sense when a developer wants to avoid centralization to protect sensitive data.

38
Q

Geolocation

A

directing end users to geographically relevant sites; placing a geolocation microservice at the edge cuts down on latency while enabling a consistent user experience and a reduction in origin infrastructure

39
Q

Contextual Linking

A

adding contextually relevant links to content for a better user experience; edge compute gets rid of processing and re-routing by the origin

40
Q

Compliance

A

running the IAB’s Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) to assist with GDPR compliance; edge compute enables fast verification of the TCF’s query string without processing at the origin

41
Q

Localization and Personalization

A

delivering and maintaining personalized customer experiences based on device, geographic, and customer-provided user data

42
Q

Dynamic Content Assembly

A

aligning the right content with the right user by dynamically assembling content from multiple sources

43
Q

Header and Cookie Management

A

decorating, reducing, or modifying headers and cookies to adhere to user preferences and data compliance laws

44
Q

Benefits of Edge Compute

A

Edge compute offers a range of benefits to developers and architects. Low latency — leading to better end-user experiences — is the primary positive outcome, but by far not the only one. Placing compute at the edge facilitates innovation. It puts control and trust decisions at the edge, making room for more real-time applications and experiences that keep the transfer of personal data to a minimum. With the right toolset, edge compute enables developers to “just code,” without needing to manage the complexities of provisioning computing capacity and deploying code at the edge.
