Google Cloud and AT&T recently announced a partnership to help enterprises take advantage of Google Cloud’s technologies and capabilities with AT&T network connectivity at the edge, including 5G. Plus AT&T and Google Cloud plan to deliver a portfolio of 5G edge computing solutions that bring together AT&T’s network, Google Cloud’s technologies, and edge computing to help enterprises scale operations.
These edge computing solutions will be powered by AT&T’s network and will utilize Google Cloud’s core capabilities in Kubernetes, AI, and machine learning, and data and analytics technologies.
