In keeping with the different ways edge computing can happen--on the device, on the premises or at a remote location, Microsoft’s platforms come in three versions, to support private enterprise edge, carrier edge or Microsoft Azure itself.
Microsoft describes Azure Edge Zones as local extensions of Azure, available through Azure with select carriers and operators, or as private customer zones through the Azure Private Edge Zones.
In some cases, Azure Edge Zones are small footprint extensions of Azure placed in population centers that are far away from Azure regions. These are essentially remote Azure nodes.
Azure Edge Zones “With Carrier” are small footprint extensions of Azure placed in mobile operators' data centers in population centers. Azure Edge Zones with carrier infrastructure are placed one hop away from the mobile operator's 5G network, offering sub-10 millisecond latency to applications from mobile devices, Microsoft says.
Azure Private Edge Zones are small footprint extensions of Azure placed on-premises.
