Edge Node Service (ENS) lets you run workloads on edge nodes operated by Internet service providers (ISPs), placing compute close to your end users. This reduces response latency, lowers computing costs, and offloads traffic from your central data center.
Why ENS?
Global reach with low latency — ENS deploys distributed, elastic computing resources across ISP edge nodes that cover most regions in the world, so your end users connect to a node near them.
Pay only for what you use — Edge computing resources on ENS support pay-as-you-go billing and dynamic scaling, with no upfront investment required.
Built-in integrations — ENS integrates with Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes and DevOps APIs. The open runtime environment and computing power specifications support batch, visualized, and automated management of your workloads.
Secure and reliable infrastructure — ENS runs on multi-tenant computing power with secure network isolation, backed by the Apsara Distributed Operating System and automated O&M capabilities to protect your data worldwide.
