5G technology needs edge computing architecture
Most industry discussions have extolled the benefits of the cloud but also warned about cloud computing costs and vendor lock-in. Ten years ago, most discussions about cloud computing warned about security and migration pitfalls with public clouds. Today, conversely, most experts consider the cloud safer, more scalable and integral to any agile IT architecture.
But one constant in the debate about the viability of cloud computing is that some applications and data can’t easily be migrated and operated in the cloud. We need alternative architectures to accommodate what can’t easily be moved.
