How do we test edge computing and make sure that our smart (often smaller) machines are doing what they should be doing? For NTT’s Parm Sandhu, it comes down to many factors, but he is able to pinpoint a number of key trends and practices. In his role as vice president for enterprise 5G products and services at NTT Ltd, Sandhu says that governance, observability and management of the underlying hybrid edge compute platform in use alongside its deployed application layer is of paramount focus. Today, there’s a widespread trend for software tools in this layer to attempt to provide an automated ‘single pane of glass’ to manage multi-cloud hybrid hyperscaler environments as well as the edge computing estate.
