Manage Edge Services
Edge Service
Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data, like IoT devices or local edge servers. This approach minimizes latency, reduces bandwidth usage, and enhances data privacy by processing data locally rather than transmitting it to a central data center or cloud.
ECP excels in efficiently managing various aspects of edge services as part of its primary functions. These include seamless deployment, streamlined management, flexible configuration, streamlined batch operations, and optimization for popular edge software such as Neuron, eKuiper, and NanoMQ.
