Abstract

Cloud-to-edge integration is a powerful computing paradigm that combines the strengths of cloud computing with the low-latency, real-time capabilities of edge computing. By enabling seamless communication and data sharing between centralized cloud infrastructure and distributed edge devices, this integration enhances the performance, scalability, and security of applications across various industries. This article explores the concept of cloud-to-edge integration, its architecture, benefits, challenges, and future directions, focusing on its role in enabling smart cities, Itoh ecosystems, autonomous systems, and more.
