TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates generally to edge environments. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, the disclosure relates to data placement via an edge node of a computing environment.

BACKGROUND

A computing environment can include an edge environment for receiving communications from client devices that are external to the computing environment. The edge environment may be located physically or topologically closer to the client devices than more-central components of the computing environment, such as storage or processing devices. The edge environment can include edge nodes that may be physically or topologically closer to the client devices than the more-central components and that can relay information between the client devices and the central components. In some cases, the edge nodes can receive data from a large quantity of client devices and can place the data at a large quantity of server devices, such as servers in the computing environment. The edge nodes can rapidly place the received data with the server devices, for example, to reduce storage of data at the edge node, since storage space at the edge nodes may be limited. Placing data includes, for example, identifying a destination component for data that is received from client devices and transmitting the data to the identified destination component.
