  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Operationalizing Multi-Cloud Environments

Part of the book series: EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing ((EAISICC))

Abstract

The advancements in the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is increasing continuously and generating huge amounts of data in a fast manner. Cloud computing is an important paradigm which processes and manages user data effectively. Further, fog and edge computing paradigms are introduced to improve user service by reducing latency and response time. This chapter presents a manifesto for modern fog and edge computing systems based on the current research trends. Further, architectures and applications of fog and edge computing are explained. Moreover, research opportunities and promising future directions are presented with respect to the new paradigms, which will be helpful for practitioners, researchers, and academicians to continue their research.
