This reduces the network bandwidth requirements and consumption between Edge and Cloud. This increases responsiveness, decreases costs, and protects customers' data privacy. + KubeEdge enables applications to run at edge, securing larger volumes of data and processing data closer to the data source which reduces the latency effectively.
