Put economics aside for a sec, #edge will be used in mission critical use cases (like hospitals and autonomous driving) only where latency of data is important for life/death sitauation before it moves into other applications where user experience matters a lot like gaming. 1/2

Now let’s tack on economics on edge vs cloud discussion. You will move to edge to reduce egress cost of #edge (an argument I often hear). What if that saving is smaller than the decentralized management cost of edge (boxes applications security maintenance)? 2/2

I meant to say

You will move to edge to reduce egress cost of #cloud
NOT
You will move to edge to reduce egress cost of #edge

dang! I can't even call that a typo... too much was going on LOL
