What is ISO/IEC TR 23188 about?
ISO/IEC TR 23188 examines the concept of edge computing, its relationship to cloud computing and IoT (Internet of Things), and the technologies that are key to the implementation of edge computing.
ISO/IEC TR 23188 covers the following topics with respect to edge computing:
- Concept of edge computing systems
- Architectural foundation of edge computing
- Edge computing terminology
- Software classifications in edge computing, e.g. firmware, services, applications
- Supporting technologies, e.g. containers, serverless computing, microservices
- Networking for edge systems, including virtual networks
- Data flow, data storage, data processing
- Management, of software, of data and of networks, resources, quality of service
- Virtual placement of software and data, and metadata
- Security and privacy
- Mobile edge computing, mobile devices
Who is ISO/IEC TR 23188 for?
ISO/IEC TR 23188 on edge computing is useful for:
- Cloud service providers
- IT professionals
- Cloud engineers and developers
- Organizations involved in designing cloud solutions
Why should you use ISO/IEC TR 23188?
Edge computing is increasingly used in systems that deal with aspects of the physical world. Edge computing involves the placement of processing and storage near or at the places where those systems interact with the physical world. The cloud services are implemented in locations that are nearer to the edge in order to support use cases that demand reduced latency or avoiding the need to transmit large volumes of data over networks with limited bandwidth.
ISO/IEC TR 23188 describes edge computing and the significant elements which contribute to the successful implementation of edge computing systems, with an emphasis on the use of cloud computing and cloud computing technologies in the context of edge computing, including the virtualization of compute, storage and networking resources.
ISO/IEC TR 23188 provides you with deployment models and service capabilities types and service categories for edge computing.
ISO/IEC TR 23188 guide you about security and privacy in edge computing. Edge computing has associated risks and as a result needs to incorporate appropriate controls and capabilities that satisfy business expectations and applicable regulations to secure and protect information, systems and nodes.
