Summary
This chapter explained all the basic concepts about edge computing and how it relates to other concepts, such as fog computing, MEC, and cloudlets. It also explained how containers and orchestrators such as Docker, containerd, and Kubernetes can help you to build your own edge computing system, using different configurations, depending on your own use case. At the end of the chapter, we covered how you can run and compile your software on edge devices using ARM processors, using the cross-compiling technique with Go, Python, Rust, and Java languages.
