Edge processing is a key internet-of-things (IoT) pattern for providing low-latency connectivity and conserving bandwidth, such as in mobile scenarios. IoT systems typically provision edge devices by deploying software container images. Interrupted container deployments over intermittent low-bandwidth internet connections can cause failures in mobile scenarios. IoT scenarios that have limited, intermittent, or low bandwidth need reliable and resilient deployment capabilities.
