Device
We have alluded to the fact that there are many different types of edge devices – audio devices, indoor and outdoor video cameras, light and motion sensors, heat sensors, vibration monitors, pressure gauges, and other telemetry devices. An edge solution topology could have a few of these edge devices or hundreds of them. In Table 2.7, we only focus on edge devices that are equipped with some computing power and storage capacity. From a data perspective, edge solutions should support one or more of the most common data transfer protocols that were listed in Table 2.2.

Edge device registration |
To be part of an edge solution, all edge devices that have some amount of compute and storage capacity must be registered with an edge hub as edge nodes. This helps... |
