Abstract
Cloud and edge computing have significantly reshaped the digital world by transforming how data is stored, accessed, and processed in real time. Cloud computing offers users scalable and affordable access to computing resources via the internet, removing the need for heavy infrastructure. Meanwhile, edge computing brings computation closer to data sources, reducing latency and boosting performance, particularly in applications like IoT and smart systems. Together, these technologies improve operational efficiency and promote sustainable digital ecosystems. This chapter explores their role in enhancing energy use, reducing emissions, and supporting smart cities, precision agriculture, automated industries, and modern healthcare. Emphasis is placed on the strengths of edge computing in real-time processing and reduced data transmission and the cloud's ability to deliver flexible, energy-efficient infrastructure. The discussion highlights practical applications, key benefits, and future challenges aligned with global sustainability goals.
