Distributed edge cloud: empowering the IoT revolution
- 1. Distributed Edge Cloud: Empowering the IoT Revolution by Samy Fodil samy@taubyte.com
- 2. Outline ● What is Edge computing, and why it's important ● Edge problems ● IoT communication ● Not just distributed compute but also storage ● WebAssembly ● Us
- 3. The Cloud (1/2) ● Todays goto for online apps and websites ● Expensive ● Slow ● Heavy load on the backhaul
- 4. The Cloud (2/2) Let’s focus on those two problems: ● Slow ● Heavy load on the backhaul
- 5. Content Delivery Network (CDN) (1/2) ● Acts as a cache for websites, video, … ● Can proxy live streaming ● Reduce considerably previous issues
- 6. Content Delivery Network (CDN) (2/2) One key characteristic of CDNs is Located at edge locations PoPs, ISPs, ...
- 7. Multi-CDN Is a Load Balancing approach that uses different metrics to solve: ● Not available everywhere ● Not same performance everywhere ● Downtime
- 8. Edge Computing (1/2) ● Moves actions as close as possible to the source ● It is the point where the physical world interacts with the digital world
- 9. Edge Computing (2/2) ● Why is it important? ○ Latency ○ Privacy ○ Security ● Example: In IoT, saving battery life is crucial. Let’s assume an IoT device can conduct the transaction in 20ms round trip time (RTT), instead of 200ms RTT. As a result, it can use 10 times less battery.
- 10. Edge = “Distributed Infrastructure” ● It does sound like a problem, and it actually is! ● With all those benefits compared to centralized approach ○ The distributed nature of the Edge introduces complex ■ Deployment ■ Routing Imagine you have to manage hundreds of regions!
- 11. Billions of Devices! ● We are living in a hyperconnected world ○ Everything is expected to interact with the internet ● The world of the Internet of Things (IoT) driven by objects will far supersede these data figures ● For example, a connected airplane will generate around 5 Terabytes of data per day
- 12. Security & Authenticity ● Was the data sent securely? ● Does it come from the source that claims to send the data? ● Was it altered along the way? ● Can it be altered after being received?
- 13. Storage at the Edge ● Compute is not the only service needed at the Edge! ● Why? ○ Few reasons ■ Privacy ■ Parallel computing ■ Large raw/perishable data (example video, vehicle logs, ...)
- 14. WebAssembly ● A binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine ● Portable target for compilation of high-level languages ● Efficient and fast ● Safe ● Modular ● Embeddable
- 15. Introducing The Distributed Edge Cloud
- 16. No need to manage regions. Your compute and storage will be available where the clients are without any configuration. #smart
- 17. Deployed at diversely resilient networks at the edge, our platform enables persistent availability. In case of natural disaster, our platform is capable of tapping into vertical peers, enabling apps and websites to work disconnected from the backbone. #resilient
- 18. In addition to encrypting traffic and data stored on our servers, we also provide out-of-the box WAF protection for all our hosted resources! #secure
- 19. Authenticate and secure IoT communication through our distributed Tangle-based ledger. #ledger
- 20. QUIC ready! #quic Lean more https://youtu.be/RIFnXaiRs_o
