I'm confused as to why the answers to a question about edge computing all seem to involve data centers. To me, the edge is about computing in business locations: factories, stores, construction sites, pipelines, trucks, whatever... all places that you typically won't find a traditional data center or public cloud presence (though, granted, you can extend the latter through something like AWS Outpost).
