0Sakis is deploying a set of video sensors that will be placed in remote locations as part of a research project. Because of connectivity limitations, he would like to perform as much image processing and computation as possible on the device itself before sending results back to the cloud for further analysis. What computing model would best meet his needs?
Answer Options
A
Serverless computing
B
Edge computing
C
IaaS computing
D
SaaS computing
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
In this case, most cloud service models (including IaaS, SaaS, and serverless/FaaS) would require transmitting most information back to the cloud. The edge computing service model would be far more appropriate, as it places computing power at the sensor, minimizing the data that must be sent back to the cloud over limited connectivity network links.
