Shipping all raw camera video to a distant site before any filter exhausts the city’s WAN budget. What architecture principle should guide the redesign?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hauling every raw camera frame across town before looking at it is like mailing whole haystacks to find a needle. Filter close to the cameras, then ship the small answers. The WAN will thank you.
Full Explanation
Data locality and movement-cost awareness are core architecture concerns. When video volume dominates WAN capacity, designs filter, sample, or summarize near the source before long-haul transfer. Maximizing distant copies, ignoring edge processing, or re-fetching full video per click inflates cost without analytic gain. Architecture must place processing relative to where bulky data is born.
