Machine Learning on the Edge: Azure ML and Azure loT Edge Integration

摘要

The edge is defined as any compute platform that isn't the cloud. It could range from Azure Stack (a cluster of machines that serves as mini-Azure), to a powerful gateway server, to a smaller device such as a Raspberry Pi or sensor. Even refrigerators and other appliances have enough processing power nowadays to be considered edge devices. The challenge is how to apply artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to data that cant make it to the cloud, whether that's due to data sovereignty, privacy, bandwidth or other issues.
