The advancement of AI has pumped-up the growth of edge computing - their synergy is incredible to watch. Edge computing is about processing data closer to the source at the edge of the network and, naturally, AI is the most effective way to analyze it. As a result, AI is quickly expanding to the distributed edge.   ZEDEDA orchestrates edge devices and applications with our own API integrating with Kubernetes, Docker, and VMs. Alongside reducing costs, we enable our customers to be able to make real-time decisions that enhance safety, optimize processes, and boost productivity. I’m looking forward to seeing what else unfolds with #AI and #edgecomputing - the possibilities are limitless.
