## Edge Computing
Edge computing, where the data and compute power is distributed to different
physical locations where it is needed, comes with many unique management
challenges. Applying system updates to traditional operating systems can be
slow and use a lot of bandwidth, and losing remote access to an edge node
because of a failed update can be catastrophic.
Talos makes computing at the edge safer and faster. The minimal operating
system requires less bandwidth to deploy and update, and the immutable Talos OS
image ("no moving parts") makes updates easier to test, and more reliable upon
deployment.
