Architecting for Disconnected Edge Computing Scenarios
In this chapter, we will explore some of the most challenging edge computing scenarios – that is, those where connectivity back to an AWS region might be intermittent or non-existent. It is difficult to effectively run a globally distributed system when the endpoints aren’t consistently reporting back. Even in such circumstances, AWS services allow customers to maintain operations while disconnected from the broader network.
As we proceed, we will build upon what we have learned in previous chapters to address such scenarios by joining AWS services with each other and with communication technologies such as SATCOM, 5G, and NB-IoT.
We will cover the following topics:
- Overview of DDIL
- SATCOM for DDIL
- Tactical edge
- Private 5G and DDIL
