[New term] `Edge Computing`

[gdenn]

1. Please describe why this term needs to be added

What this term is about? (briefly)

Edge computing is a form of computing that happens outside of cloud systems. Edge computing utilizes so called "edge devices" that are physical devices located outside of cloud infrastructure premises.

Why this term needs to be added? (briefly)

Edge computing can contribute to cloud systems by exchanging data from the edge to the cloud infrastructure as it is often the case in IoT projects and other projects that demand hardware to be present on specific locations.

Apologies for the delay, @gdenn. We weren't sure if this should be included or not and were always pushing the decision to the next meeting. While it is not necessarily a cloud native term, we decided to accept it because this definition will be valuable for the user in a cloud native context. It's been a while since you submitted this. Are you still interested in working on it?
