Operators often host multiple Edge Cloud zones across various territories. Connecting an application directly to the optimal Edge Cloud zone endpoint may minimize latency. This API provides the actual endpoints within the nearest zone. This approach ensures that developers can instantly integrate these endpoints into their applications, improving the user experience. After identifying the nearest application endpoint through the API, developers can:

• Connect their application client directly to the chosen application endpoint, enhancing the responsiveness of the service.
• If no suitable endpoints are available, the developer can use the API “Edge Application Management” in order to instantiate a new instance. Edge Cloud zone, optimizing their service distribution based on real-time network geography.

The API also can be used for IoT Device Management: Enhancing the performance of IoT devices by ensuring they connect to the nearest edge cloud zone, reducing latency and improving response times.

Applications that have strict network performance demands can benefit from deploying servers at the network edge, as can applications that wish to prevent their data from being routed on the public internet. Also operational efficiency for the API customer (cost savings) is benefit.
