                 Difference between Cloud Computing and Edge Computing
                 Some differences between Cloud Computing and Edge Computing are as follows:

                  Data Processing    Data is processed in centralised data centers.  Data is processed closer to the source, on local

                  Latency            Higher latency due to distance to data centers. Lower latency since processing occurs locally.
