Fog computing is implemented in the IoT ecosystem to manage the data center workload. Edge devices collect, analyze, and transmit data collected from smart devices to the cloud data centers. Fog computing technology minimizes the complexities and network traffic in the IoT-enabled ICT ecosystems.The integration of IoT and cloud computing applications enhances the services offered by multiple stakeholders. This helps the technology vendors and the service providers to support many end-users in a reliable and decentralized manner, which in turn,facilitates the creation of smart environments such as smart transportation, cities, and manufacturing units. Service providers can offer these services through cloud-based infrastructure, platforms, or software. The IoT gained popularity among the end-users as cloud-based solutions provide scalable and secure storage space and better business management capabilities.
