Edge Computing Requires DevOps At Scale
DevOps.com, Thursday, March 21st, 2024
The rise of edge computing is about to drive a long-overdue convergence of DevOps, data engineering, security, networking, operational technology (OT) and machine learning operations (MLOps) best practices, which will ultimately make IT teams more responsive than ever to the needs of the business.
Historically, each of these IT disciplines has tended to work in isolation, with deliberate handoffs being made between the various teams employed to provision and maintain various services. The challenge is that as more applications are deployed at the network edge, the need for IT teams to work hand-in-glove is crucial. Applications not only need to be deployed across a much more distributed computing environment, but they also need to be regularly updated and patched.
