In other words, GGC allows you to implement edge computing functionalities easily and quickly by deploying them on the edge device through the AWS platform.

It is worth remembering that edge computing means ''a distributed computing paradigm which brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, to improve response times and save bandwidth'', according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_computing Wikipedia]. Within the processing power limits of the edge device, moving such computations to the edge is an effective way to optimize costs. When the Internet connection is intermittent or poor, it can be even mandatory to meet system's requirements.
