Preface

How to Use This Book

This book is intended to be read from start to finish in order for the reader to get the most benefit from all of the subject areas which it covers. However, for information on a specific topic, each of the chapters in this book can be read in a relatively stand‐alone manner. There is crossover between chapters in many cases, for example, between a section on the physical redundancy of an edge data centre facility in one chapter and a section describing infrastructure edge computing network level resiliency in another, where if the reader has not read the prior section, some context may be lost.

I hope however you choose to read it that you enjoy reading this book as much as I did when writing it.
