Alan is working with a cloud provider to implement a new service that places IoT sensors at the edge of his network, allowing those devices to perform some computation locally, and then connects those devices to the cloud provider. What term best describes this approach?
A. Hybrid Cloud Computing
B. Fog Computing
C. Public Cloud Computing
D. Private Cloud Computing
Correct Answer: B
This scenario does not give us enough information to determine whether the cloud provider is performing computation in a public cloud or private cloud model. So neither public or private cloud computing is our correct answer here. This approach, which mixes the local computation on edge devices with the use of a remote cloud offering, is known as fog computing, making it our correct answer. There is also no indication that the customer site has a cloud environment in this scenario.
