Cloud computing is a major technological platform in the present computing world.It enabled faster
computing and robust storage of data.Both high and low end computers can enjoy easy access to cloud
networking systems and enable data processing in the “cloud”.But, despite the whole efficient data
processing capabilities,a new technological challenge is paved on the way in the form of latency and data
center overload.This problem is dealt by a new structure of cloud computing ,apparently a different one,
called Edge computing, is introduced.The real problem with cloud computing is that it wastes a lot of
valuable resources!.cloud computing mainly employs the method of processing data in a centralized
server called cloud where all major computational processes take place and the other decentralized
devices enjoy the fruits of the computations of the cloud.while all these decentralised deviced are able to
compute data for themselves,cloud computing processes actually don’t account this and ignore these
devices.Hence a waste of resources of valuable processors.Edge computing solves this by implementing a
network of devices where processing takes place among a decentralised architecture:divided among the
devices.The network consists devices which process data locally,at the edge of the network!!.Edge
computing has wide range of applications like smart cities,smart transportation and control of drones etc.

Edge computing is fast because the processing device is close to the source of data and
hence latency and power consumption is reduced.But edge computing is vulnerable to hacking as the data
processing takes place very near to the data source.Hence edge computing process employs high end
encryption during the transfer of data.There are several reqirements for safe implementation of Edge
computing like scalability,reliability,resource management,interoperability,security and encryption.

The challenge for electronics engineer in the field of edge computing is

overwhelming.Because of the increase of Iot devices in the present world,the need for efficient and low
power circuitry is definite.In view of these,the present electrical and electronics engineers are working
together to produce circuitry that is energy efficient and also using non volatile hardware.Iot architecture
plays an important as more as the data transmission interfaces(SPI,UART).Hence the field of edge
computing is a very exciting for anyone who learned the essentials of computers and electronics.edge
computing is still a rising field and can gift anyone with a blissful and challenging career.
