12.4.4. Edge and Cloud Computing

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define edge computing.

   Hint

   Think about where data processing occurs in relation to the source.

2. 2.

   What does cloud computing primarily provide?

   Hint

   Consider the internet's role in data management.

3. 3.

   What is edge computing?

   • Decentralized data processing
   • Centralized data storage
   • None of the above

   Hint

   Think about how data is handled close to where it's created.

4. 4.

   True or False: Cloud computing is only about storing data.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the broader roles of cloud technology.

5. 5.

   Design a small-scale project utilizing both edge and cloud computing for ACVs. What challenges might arise?

   Hint

   Think about real-time processing versus data management.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the risks involved with relying too much on edge computing for decision-making in ACVs. What strategies can mitigate these risks?

   Hint

   Consider backup systems and data validation.
